Tricks or Treats… or maybe both | Doo Care

1. Tricks or Treats… or maybe both? No matter how bad your day is, coming home to a jumping, exciting little ball of fur is enough to lift anybody’s mood and make them forget their troubles instantly. Dogs not only provide us with hours of entertainment and a bottomless bucket of love and affection but also a shoulder to cry on at our hard times. We know how dogs love to please their owners and teaching them new tricks does exactly that, offers them a great way to win your praise and affection. Plus, it’s a lot more fun to teach your dog some cool dog tricks even if it's just to show off to friends.

2. Kiss Yes, I got it. Your dog showers you with a lot of kisses every time but how many of them are actually on command? None, I guess. But you can easily teach them how to. Simply put a little treat on your cheek and add a verbal command, and soon you will be getting all the kisses on demand. Plus, it might help you if you are not a fan of unwanted licking. High Five For this to work, you first need to teach your dog how to shake paws. Present it a closed fistful of treats and it will be compelled to paw at your hand. Once they start pawing, began using the command ‘shake’. Now you will use this action of your dog to train it to lift its paw to high five. Easy. Play Dead Playing dead is another party trick that most definitely will impress your friends and family. Just imagine holding your finger like a gun, say bang and lol, your dog falls to the floor to play dead. To teach this, use the treats to make it lie down (try rubbing belly too) and once it has practiced enough, replace the treats with your ‘bang’ gesture. Spin Getting your dog to spin on command is a staple dog trick. You can start by holding a treat near your dog’s nose and can easily lure it into a spin. After enough practice and just like every other trick, replace the treats with your command. And enjoy. Closing Thoughts: Above-mentioned are a few effective tricks you can teach your dog that will make you an instant hit in parties. Other such tricks include training it to fetch, bark on command, roll over beside making him poo every time at a particular spot (which will also make the job easier for dog poop clean up services). Teach your dog some new tricks regardless of his age, it’s a great way to bond with your dog. Original Source: http://groupspaces.com/Doo2/pages/tricks-or-treats-or-maybe-both
