How/what Tricks To Teach My Puppy?

I have a 12 week female border collie cross staffy puppy.
I have recently been taking her to puppy preschool and its getting to the graduation and I have two weeks to instruct her a ‘unique’ trick.
She is pretty smart and learnt the basics pretty quick, she knows how to sit lay roll over and she also does the agility course really well.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
And methods on how to instruct them to her?
Thankyou.

Great Job! Teach her with a soft ball that is the correct size for her mouth to catch a ball while she is in the sitting position only.
Just be careful not to make her jump for it. She should not have to do anything that can harm her spine or any of her joints.

You could get her to talk. Not sure how to teach but i’ve seen it done on other dogs. Move your hand in a “chattering” motion and say talk (bark) and keep the treat somewhere near her so she starts to whine or bark for it-repeat.
You could even teach her “bang your dead” point your finger at her and say bang. She should then drop and “play dead” you’d have to include drop and kind of roll over in this trick to make it successful.
To teach your puppy you need patience, treats and alot of praise!
Hope i helped

You can teach her to give her paw or crawl. To train her to give her paw make her sit then say paw and take her paw. Then give her a treat. Just repeat this. To get her to crawl get her to lay down and take a treat and move it slowly away from her and tell her to crawl. If she stands up make her lay back down and try again. You can hold her down gently to make sure she doesn’t get up.
