Cool Sumersaults

My 19 week old Boxer does Sumersaults all the time. He just walks up to his pillow, buries his head, and does a perfect sumersault. He also does sumersaults to "attack" our Lab. I'd like to train him to do the sumersaults on command, but I don't know how to do this, as he just does them sporatically. Does anyone else's Boxer do this? And could someone possibly suggest a way to train him to do this on command?

Re: Sumersaults

If you are using a clicker this should be straight forward to capture.
Say the command you want for this Click and treat when he does the sumersault on his own.

Re: Sumersaults

Bodie does them! I just read this post to DH because he loves it when Bodie summersaults. He would also like to train our pup to do them. I'll let you know if anything works for us.
