sit pretty is when the dog is in a sitting position with its fron paws up and if you have the dog trained to stand on its back legs it should be pretty easy unless this is a big or overweight dog. Dance is an extension of stand in which you start by putting the treat above the dogs head and slightly to one side(the side you want the dog to turn to) and the dog has to do a 360 while on 2 legs. again big or overweight dogs dont like those tricks that much but I got my beagle who is it a little bit overweight to do those tricks consitently with about four turns for a treat. You gotta make sure they have enough leg strength or else you cant expect too much. getting a dog to walk on their hind legs is also pretty easy if you have them standing because all you have to is put the treat right under their chin and reward them for walking while saying "no" if they try to hold on to your arm.
