SIMPLE TRICKS
3
TO TEACH YOUR DOG
3
  • Teaching your dog tricks is a great way to boost
    his mental stimulation, and it allows the two of
    you to bond.

4
  • The training can be fun and simple, as long as he
    knows basic commands, such as down or sit.

5
  • Here are three simple tricks that you can teach
    your dog.

6
SHAKING HANDS
1
7
  • Since most dogs have a natural instinct to raise
    their paws for a treat, teaching this trick will
    be easy to do.

8
  • Your dog will need to be in the sitting position
    before you begin the training.

9
  • You will then need to place a treat in your hand,
    and slowly move that treat to the ground, placing
    it next to your dogs paw.

10
  • Once your dog begins to raise his paw in
    anticipation of the treat, you will need to say
    the word shake.

11
  • Be sure to praise your dog and repeat this step,
    holding your hand a little higher each time so
    that your dog will need to raise his paw higher
    in order to grab the treat.

12
For your dog to raise his paw chest high.
The goal
13
  • Always use the same paw when training your dog
    until he can hold his paw up on command.
  • Afterwards, you can switch to his other paw.

14
  • After your dog has learned to shake hands on
    command, eliminate the treats and replace them
    with praise and doggy toys.

15
DANCING

16
  • This trick can be taught to all dogs, but those
    pets under 40 pounds learn the dance trick
    faster.

17
  • When you begin the training process, make sure
    that your dog is in the sitting position.

18
  • Place a treat in your hand, but be sure to close
    your hand and move it near your dogs nose.

19
  • In a slow motion, you want to lift your hand over
    your dogs head next, you want to move your hand
    slightly behind his head.

20
  • Your dog will then look back at your hand as he
    stands on his hind legs.

21
  • Give your dog a treat and praise him as soon as
    he stands on his back legs.

22
  • Repeat this step over and over until your dog is
    able to stand on his hind legs quickly and
    sturdily.

23
  • The next step is to move the treat above your
    dogs head in a small circle.

24
  • The goal is for your dog to twirl on his hind
    legs. Once he begins to step in a circle, speak
    the word dance.

25
  • Give him a treat and continue to praise him each
    time in order to bait your dog to stand up and
    turn in a circle.

26
TAKE A BOW

27
  • After shaking hands and dancing, your dog will
    deserve to take a bow.

28
  • The key to this trick is having your dog place
    his chest to the ground while keeping his bottom
    upward.

29
  • Bowing comes naturally to dogs, so this trick is
    simple to learn. When you begin teaching this
    trick, your dog will need to be in the standing
    position.

30
  • Place a treat next to your dogs nose, and slowly
    move it down, keeping the treat next to his nose
    at all times.

31
  • Your dogs chest will be on the ground and his
    bottom will be upward. Keep your dog in this
    position for a few seconds and speak the word
    bow.

32
  • Use the treat to lure your dog back up into the
    standing position. Once he is standing, give him
    the treat and lots of praise.

33
  • Repeat this process no more than three times a
    day and soon your dog will be able to bow on
    command.

34
  • Always keep training under 10 minutes per day.
    You will need to remain patient, positive, and
    calm when training your dog to do these simple
    tricks.

35
  • Have fun and be sure to show off your dogs new
    tricks to family and friends!
