Outstanding! I’m especially impressed by Tucker’s confident proficiency, and by the number of repetitions he will perform before earning a treat. It’s inspiring to see the amazing potential of the attractive and hardy schipperke, a breed I’ve always much admired, yet so rarely see performing to its potential. Tucker’s tail is beautiful and in harmonious balance with his stout body. I wish every schipperke could, like Tucker, keep its beautiful tail, so important for communication and agile movement. Thank you for sharing Tucker’s trick repertoire!
Wow! Schipperkes are so smart, and I really do think they live to please (despite how stubborn they can be.) Mine learned the names of his toys without me trying, and one time I was feeling too lazy to take him on a walk and I jokingly said “go get your leash for me” and VOOM! Off he went to grab his leash where I had left it, not in the usual place, either. They’re such smart dogs with a lot of potential. Very nice to see.
He's clicker trained and mostly these tricks are free shaped. They are such smart little devils I've found they like the challenge of working things out for themselves!
I'm afraid I can't help you with US breeders as I am based in the UK. Tail docking has been banned here for some time so all UK Schipps keep their natural tails which is lovely.

I agree! You can give them a job or they will make their own & it’s frequently not the one you might want! Bravo!
I love this i teach my male schipperke tricks too so he keeps busy and its just fun bonding time honestly
Aww what a good boy Tucker is, and very cute !
I am in awe! Of you, your joy and patience and him, too. Being so extraordinarily reliable 😱💖👏
Wow wow wow 💪🌞
Omgoodness 😱 he’s so smart!!! I have a male Schippy named Tucker too.
This is so inspiring!
He's beautiful.
so smart and cute
We need to see how you taught the little captain. We have two but it's hard to find any videos.

How did you train him so extraordinarily? Clicker? Treats? Will you take us through your process?
Yes I am a clicker trainer so this is all trained with positive reinforcement. They are a smart breed who enjoy problem solving!
May I ask, if you’re in the U.S., were you able to find Tucker, with his beautiful tail intact, in this country?

@@sophieharrison2092 Sure agree on that. What a shame to be deprived of such a beautiful and useful body part for no good reason. 😥
