Just curious how fast your bully(s) can learn a new command or trick. 
I had a couple snow days here in WI (we got 18 inches where I live) and so since I was snowed in with my Tonka at the end of last week, I taught him a new trick....to play dead. I used little pieces of fresh green bean to train him and after only showing him a couple times what I wanted him to do and then praising him and giving him the green bean, he had already learned the trick!
After that, when I said "play dead" he would roll over on his back and stick his paws in the air! So cute! He has been like this with every trick he has learned thus far. He learns it instantly. He is still extremely stubborn and half the time wont do things I want him to (like coming when I call him and he's outside) but I know that little bugger hears and understands every word I say. It's just a matter of choosing to listen haha. He is smarter than he lets on, that's for sure! 
I didn't even show him how to sit when he was a puppy, I just said the command and was about to push his little butt down to show him what I wanted him to do but he did it automatically! He also learned to shake and lay down very fast. With previous dogs I have owned it has taken a lot longer (days and lots of repetition) to teach and learn a new trick.
Do your bullies catch on fast? Especially when given food motivation?
