2. Do you want to meet penny?

3. Why Choose Penny? Penny is my 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi
She is the subject of my Genius Hour Project
My project was based upon the guiding question, How quickly can Penny learn new tricks?
Penny is very smart and willing to learn new tricks. She can already beg, dance, and play dead.
Why Choose Penny?

4. Penny learned how to sit!

5. Can she Fetch?

6. And she can stay….

7. She also Comes!

8. She also learned how to jump a fence!!
If you look closely jumping a fence is a big accomplishment for Penny, she has VERY short legs!!
The fence is a foot and half tall!

9. How quickly can Penny learn new tricks?
I taught Penny five new tricks in two days!!!
She learned the tricks through repetition and reward for the good behavior.
In conclusion, you can teach dogs more than one trick at a time in a short period of time. I taught her one trick until she mastered it, and then returned back to that trick after teaching a new trick and so on until she mastered all five tricks.
