Sheltie Doing Backwards Tricks

By admin · Friday, July 10th, 2009

My sheltie Taz has an amazing ability to do things backwards. This is just a sampling of some of his skill. We start with a little warm-up and backwards crawling, and then move into harder and harder tricks. In many of these clips, Taz is 13 years “young” (the stairs and Aframe are older clips, I don’t ask him to do those anymore!)

Sadly Taz passed away suddenly just a month after making this video. He seemed so vital and healthy still, it was quite a shock and he is very sorely missed, dogs like him are truly rare treasures. You can visit his tribute page at http://www.cfwebstore.com/taz.cfm or click the links on the right to view more videos of him in action!

Nice video and sheltie. I’m teaching mine some of the same things and they learn so fast! But sometimes too smart and like a cat he will look at me like: are you kidding me….lol but you can learn them many things and are very loyal dogs!

aw he’s so sweet and smart, you can tell he loves you dearly. my sheltie also passed away suddenly, and while it’s hard on us, at least it’s some condolence to know that it’s better for them to not have had to suffer. I’m sure he was happy and dancing up til the very end.

He really is amazing. I know what it’s like to lose a pet because my guinea pig passed away about a month ago. I miss him a lot. But one thing that is happy for me was he was still being strong and acting like himself, even at the very end.

I’m sorry to hear about Tax. Am I wrong, or wasn’t he on Dog Star at one time? He was a very special boy, and I know you miss him.
