Dog Tricks and Teaching Dogs Tricks
Of the many different aspects of dog training, this section is dedicated to the lighter side. Dog tricks are a wonderful way to develop your communication and rapport with your dog. After your dog has mastered basic commands such as sit-down-stay, there are hundreds of tricks you can train your dog to perform.
Trick Training Tips:
- Always training new tricks in a quite spot with no distractions.
- As with all training, make learning tricks a positive and rewarding experience, so no rising of your voice or disciplining your dog.
- I prefer to use a clicker, but this is not essential.
- All tricks will need a number of sessions to master, so don't try to achieve to much in one go.
- Try to accompany all verbal commands with a unique hand signal.
- Keep training for specific tricks to 3-5 minutes at the most, but repeat regularly.
- Always stop while your dog is still interested and always stop when you feel yourself getting frustrated.
