It is very easy to teach a dog to Yawn on command.... Say "Yawn" and apply slight pressure to the jaws where the lips stop. Almost always they will "yawn" in response. When Tetley yawns, give him a high-value treat and then repeat. Boo the Boxer yawns when given the hand signal -- I put a finger on MY jaw and tell her to yawn.
I also taught her to "shell gambling game". I would put a dog cookie under the "shell" and taught her to Pick one by putting her foot on it. She only got the treat if she guessed right.
Teaching a dog to "step on it" is also very easy and a lot of fun. |
