Dog Training - Easy Dog Tricks
Author: John Williams Dog Training
There are plenty of dog tricks around to choose from but starting off with
your first puppy or dog and knowing which dog tricks are easy can be a bit of a
challenge. If you have a puppy then training them will be a lot easier than an
older dog because of the habits dogs fall into when they are brought
up.
Older dogs will have different habits and a strong personality by
then so they may find some advanced tricks easier than basic tricks because of
the way they have been brought up.
Although the same as above can be true
for puppies also, this is more likely to be because of the breed of dog you have
and the different general personalities that go with them breeds.
In this
article we assume you have taught your dog the basics or sit and stay etc and
now you want to teach your dog a fun show-off type trick to impress your friends
or family when they visit. There are many tricks from bringing you the TV remote
to riding a skateboard, but to start off I recommend something simple like the
figure of eight around your legs.
This is similar to other commands you
will have taught your dog and involves you using treats to encourage your dog to
perform actions. To do this trick you simply have hold a treat in one hand and
guide your dog through one side of your legs, through the middle then around to
complete a figure of eight motion. Try to hold the treat close to your dog's
nose to keep them interested and always reward them with praise afterwards and
the treat afterwards.
After you have mastered this and can get your dog
to do it on command you're ready for your next trick and one step closer to the
skateboard. Good luck!
