There are many ways that you can use your knowledge of animals to impress your friends. There are lots of great dog tricks that you can teach your dog quickly and easily that will be sure to impress. When you are looking at the various types of dog tricks that you might decide to do, one of the most important things to think about is the way that your dog is going to be obedient to you. With the right combination of treats and praise, you can teach your dog to do just about anything. Therefore, it is first important to look at how to teach them a trick.
When you have a dog, chances are that you already know about a bit of food or two that might make them do anything you want. Training treats should be small, and should be low calorie, so that you can give them to the dog without making the dog overweight. Once you've chosen a training treat, use it only for the times in which you are training, because otherwise your dog will simply think that he can get those treats at any time, and won't worry about doing what you ask any more.
Sit and Stay
The first trick is one of the best, not only to impress your friends, but to make sure that your dog is always exhibiting good behavior. It is sit and stay. The first thing that you should do is hold a treat far above your dog's nose, so that he has to look up to see it. As he looks up, one of his natural reactions would be to sit down. Tell him to sit, and move the treat further back from him. If he doesn't sit right away, gently push him into a sitting position, while repeating the word sit. Once he's sat, praise him, and give him the treat. Do this a few times until you are sure that he can do it on command. Then, move on to stay. This is a bit harder to do. What you want to do is place your hand flat in front of his face, almost in a "stop" type gesture. Tell him to stay, and start to back away. Even if he only stays for a few seconds, praise him and give him the treat. Keep doing this until you have gotten to the point where he will stay for as long as you want him to. The sit and stay is a great combination of tricks to use to impress your friends.
Bring It Back
Another all time classic is to teach your dog to bring something back to you. Lots of people commonly use balls, sticks, Frisbees, or even socks. Almost every dog will naturally retrieve something if you throw it. Call their name to have them bring it back to you and give them a treat and some praise as soon as they do. This is not only a great trick, but is also a lot of fun for both you and your dog. - 20511
