Paw Stand
Ms. Prissy the Chihuahua never takes a "paws" when it comes to this trick. The tiny pup performs a one-pawed handstand in owner Gary Noel's palm.
"I'd hold her back legs while she was in a handstand position to build up her front muscles," he says. It wasn't long before Prissy learned to lift up her left leg and perch in this paw stand. Now she can hold the move for more than five seconds—and that's pretty much the only time she's not yapping.
"Even though she's the smallest of our dogs, she thinks she's the biggest and the baddest," Noel says. "She barks louder and acts tougher than dogs ten times her size!"
