I continue to use the lure until the dog is doing the trick on his own 4 out of 6 times or the majority of the time. Then don't hesitate to continue to use treats for rewards for getting the trick right and don't forget a smile and happy praise. Make him want to please you with your upbeat attitude and he will work hard to figure out what you want for the great reward he knows will be forthcoming and most of all he'll work to please you after he's been at it a while and learns that all that positive reinforcement from you is waiting for him upon doing his job well. To me, there is nothing cuter than a dog doing his tricks and knowing he's your star!
