We’ve Been Begging to Know How…

June 1st, 2009

..to teach our dog how to beg

Ok, first let’s get all of our items together.
Treats? Check.
Dog? Check.

Ok, let’s begin!

To start, we begin with our dog in a SIT position. Take a treat, and while holding it above your dog’s head, say the phrase you want related to BEG. You can try BEG, SAY PLEASE, or any other phrase you think is cute
Your dog will probably try and reach up for the dog treat with their paws, so as soon as both paws are off the ground, say “Good ________” and give him/her the treat.

Keep in mind that this is a difficult trick for most dogs as it works on their balance skills, so it make take a few tries to get it done. But keep trying, and happy tricks!

Dogs With Talent

March 17th, 2009

Every dog has a special talent. My pup has the incredible ability of pulling out every bit of stuffing from stuffed animals. [A habit that I'm working on overcoming, I promise.] Some dogs can sing, some can dance, some can even count and do math!

This dog’s talent? He can understand English.
