Teaching dogs tricks can be great fun for you and your dog. When you think about it most obedience exercises
are only a set of “Tricks”. When
you are doing a lot of formal obedience work with your dog
sometimes tricks can break up the training session and any type of work with your dog is building a bond between you both. Keep teaching sessions short and above all have fun!!! |
|
THE TWIST The twist is an easy one to teach and can be incorporated into the Heelwork to liven it up and help keep the dogs attention.
|
|
|
Start with your dog in a standing position and hold a food treat just in front of his nose |
Very slowly lure your dogs head round so that his head almost meets his tail.
|
|
|
Turn the dog round to where you started and feed the treat. As the dog starts to turn put in the key word “Twist” (If you happen to have a dog with the same name, some of us MAY know of one!! - You can use an alternative word like Spin.) |
Repeat until your dog starts to move
in a circle as soon as you start to move your hand. Next try standing upright and start giving slightly less hand signals. Keep practising until you can stand upright and the dog will turn on
command only. To really impress, teach him to twist at your side and at a distance from you.
