How To Train A Dog To Perform Tricks

A dog would always be a most loyal and affectionate companion whose comic antics would continuously bring laughter and amusement to the family. Being considered as one of the most loved pets, a dog’s exploits will be lovingly enjoyed by the whole family. The dog’s fun and loving nature is the reason why the pet is always taken around but a dog that can do tricks would make an owner show off the pet’s abilities. Shake hands, roll over, beg, bow, speak, play dead are some of the awesome tricks that would impress people. Other dog owners would be impressed with an owner that has successfully trained the pet to do awesome tricks.

Many pet owners would baulk at the idea of training the dog to do tricks. It is understandable as making a dog learn tricks would not be an easy task. Our canine friends are noted to differ in personalities. Some dog breeds would be interested with the challenges given by the owner while others would simply ignore an owner’s commands. Persistence is a very important word in training the dog to do tricks. Training the dog to do tricks is definitely not for a lazy person as a single trick entails countless repetitions before it can be learned by the dog.

Teaching the dog to do tricks is pretty much similar to obedience training. Trick training, similar to obedience training would need the owner to be persistent and to have a lot of patience to undertake the many repetitions needed to make the dog learn the trick. Before starting the training, you need to make the dog understand that you are the leader of the pack, someone that must be obeyed. Uncomplicated commands given in a clear voice be can be easily grasped by the dog.

Reinforcing verbal commands with hand gestures would make the command more understandable for the dog. In the shake hand trick, an extended hand will encourage the dog to extend its paws too. The same command must be given in a firm voice.

Dogs naturally want to please its people. The dog will be encouraged to obey if it receives lavish attention from its master. Being food motivated, dogs will be encouraged to respond well with the training with treats. Dogs are energetic but they are curious animals as well. Teaching the dog to do tricks would be more effective if conducted in short sessions and done in an area with few distractions.
