Your best friend is going to look so smart at the dog park!
These are some usefull tricks you can teach your dog in only one day of
practice. You only need your dog and some dog treats to
start having fun!
Sit βπΌ
Get your dog a treat. Let him smell it, then put it in your closed
wrist.
Place yourself in front of the dog while it is watching and waiting to
receive the treat.
Say, [Name], sit down! or Sit! Use the word you
prefer.
With the dog's attention focused on your hand, start following an
imaginary line to the dog's back, going over the head.
Stay βπΌ
When the dog is sitting, try to be positioned close to him, on the
left or right side (choose one side). Put on the collar and say
[Name], stay! while placing your open hand next to him. Wait
a few seconds and, if he is quiet, say again Very Well or
Good Boy, in addition to rewarding him with a treat or
petting.
Repeat the previous process until you can be quiet for more than ten
seconds. Always continue to reward him at the beginning, then you can
alternate between a reward or a simple Good Boy.
When you get your dog to be quiet, say the command and try to get away
a little. If he goes after you, come back and repeat the command. Go
back a few meters, call the dog and offer a reward.
Increase the distance gradually until the dog is virtually still over
a distance of more than 10 meters, even if someone else calls him.
Don't forget to always call him at the end and say
Come Here or something like that so he knows when to move.
Shake Hands ππΌ
The secret is that your dog will already naturally paw at you if they
want something. When you present a closed fistful of treats, your dog
will be compelled to paw at your hand since they canβt get the treats
with their mouth.
Once they continue to paw, begin to use the command Shake and
after repeating it several times, your dog is sure to learn a brand
new trick. Follow the instructions in the video above for more
details.
I hope you and your pall enjoy these tricks!
