With our guys, it's enough to get them to sit up for a treat -- don't
expect them to do anything fancy <VBG>.
Zoe in particular is the one who waits for you to place the treat in her
mouth.  She looks at you with an expression that says "If you want a dog
that does tricks, get yourself a lab!"  None of our Pyrs have ever played
with toys or performed tricks.  However, our TM loves toys and has even
been able to get the Pyrs to play with her.
