Anybody have similarly clear instructions on how to teach "Bang, you're dead?" |
I had already taught Kizzy to roll over so when I first started telling her bang. I would point my finger at her and say bang. Then I got in the floor with her and would point my finger at her, say bang and roll her over just on her back and hold her and put a cheerio in her mouth and let her up. After a few times constantly for about maybe 5 or 6 minutes (not sure on the time). I would sit on the couch and point my finger at her and say bang and she would roll over and I would stop her half way and say stay and put a cheerio in her mouth and let her up of course each time. and wasnt long i could just say bang and she would roll half way over with her paws up and stay, watching me the whole time for her cheerio and I would let her stay for a second or so before giving it to her. Of course this was just my way, I had no idea how its suppose to be done. I just try different things and she seems to catch on pretty quick. They are smart dogs. sometimes you just have to get in the floor and show em. or errr rather help them. lol . But you do have to be consistent several times. all along everyday I would do her this way. But I am here alone with just me and her most days and no children ,except days I have company or a lots going on and I have plenty of time with her unlike those that work or have children at home, But I remember those days too.
