We took Joey to a tricks training class, I wanted to learn the proper way to teach him a trick. I have since found this online guide, and it has written instructions as well as a video. The important thing is to make training fun. A 5-10 minute session done twice a day is better than one long session. I use Joey's regular food for training, and when I announce, "School time," Joey comes running. This site has specific techiques on how to teach tricks.
