stretch out his front paws, sort of like doing a bow or curtsey,

and lift his behind in the air and wag his tail? too cute!!! I'll try to catch a photo of Beau doing this. He does it especially when I toss him a treat he's really been wanting.

Yes! Wrigley does this ALL the time. We get so tickled at her sticking her behind in the air, and she'll just freeze like that for a while. So funny!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Gracie does this every time she greets us at the door, in the morning when she wakes up or even when she has been sleeping a while. We always say "bow" so that maybe some day she will do it on command. It is soooo cute and the tail is just wagging and wagging!

[Denise, Winnie, and AngelAbby]

Abby does this also - and I worked with her with the clicker and she now does it on command - as a bow. It's darling isn't it???

[03pilqobzlvp7]

Yes! I like to call it "Downward Dog" and I'm hoping he'll do it on command one day!

[TrevorDoodle]

You mean like this.....
This is his "bow" trick - I will put my hands togther and bow and Trevor will do this...

[Ellen aka BeauBeau's Mom]

that's it!

[Elaine]

Another "Doodle" trait? Yes...Leo does this, as with the others in the a.m., anytime he is just waking up, and as he greets us when we come in...of course I am sure he was snoozing while we were gone.

Actually, almost all puppies, any breed, do this. It is the universal "Play with me" pose! Mine does it and barks, too, when he's really excited and wants to play. If you watch them around other dogs, they do it a lot, then too. And yep, it's very cute!! :)
