as soon as i saw my dog do any of the tricks i wanted to teach him i would say very excited the name of the action and say good boy over and over and give him a treat. lol so for example if i wanted to teach him sit whenever i see him sitting i would say good boy!! good sit, good sit! and i would give him a treat. i have used this procedure to teach all the dogs ive owned. Now my dog knows how to sit, stand, lay, eat is food when i say, put his head down, right now im teaching him this trick limp. besides all of that its always best to use treats that your dog absoultley loves like real chicken (even though i give my dog dried chicken or chicken jerky). when ever they do what you want get super excited and happy about it so they know you like what they are doing. |
