I want this comedy dog

How come everyone else has a dog that can do cool stuff like this (see video below), whilst I end up with Naughty George whose party tricks include pissing on children's toys and vomiting up bile during dinner parties?

 
Vid.No.1. Pug calls for Batman

That's it. I have decided to teach Naughty George a trick that would give him (and me) some street-cred. I am going to buy a large mallet, and I'm going to train NG to keel over and start twitching after I have pretended to hit him on the head with it. The kids'll love it. 

Thinking about it, I'm not quite sure how I would go about training him to do that. 

Maybe I should catch him unawares, push him over sideways, and then quickly reward him with a treat. I would probabably have to introduce the mallet gradually. The twitching though..... that's gonna be tricky. I reckon I'll have to hold his paws and jerk them around a bit, each time giving him a treat. 

Anyone out there who knows how to train a dog to twitch? 

P.S. With thanks to 'Nothing to Do With Arbroath' for the video

Wow. How cool!

I want that dog.

My dog can belch. A lot. Is that a trick??

I think if you got *that* dog, Naughty George would have a headfit. :)

I know Brahm - is that not the coolest dog ever. It made me laugh my head off.

I am not sure that belching is classed as a party trick unless Alfred can say 'Archbishop of Canterbury' whilst doing it.

I know Brennig. Could you imagine what it would be like round my house? Naughty George woofing at everything and that dog shouting BATMAN! every five minutes. It would be carnage.
