Can your pet do tricks?

While those things are important, don't underestimate the benefits of training a dog to do tricks. Dog tricks are a great way to offer your dog some mental stimulation, and many of them build from the basic commands.

How do I teach my dog to say I love you?

Take your dog's favorite treat or toy and hide it behind your back. Wait until your dog is about to bark in anticipation, say "speak," then reward her when she barks. Practice the 'speak' command in short ten-minute sessions to warm your dog up for saying "I love you."

How many tricks can a dog learn?

What is the best age to teach a dog tricks?

How many tricks can a dog learn in a day?

You can train them on more than one command in a day but try to stick to just one for each session. An exception might be if the session is not going well and you want to get your dog to do something it knows so that the session will end on a positive note.

Young puppies have short attention spans but you can expect them to begin to learn simple obedience commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “stay,” as young as 7 to 8 weeks of age. Formal dog training has traditionally been delayed until 6 months of age.

What is shaping a dog?

What is Shaping? With shaping, you don't teach the final behavior but rather break it down into smaller steps that build toward it. So, if you want to teach your dog to roll over, you could lure them all the way over, or you could shape it by starting with them lying on the ground.

How do you teach a dog to push a ball?

The Verbal Commands Method

Teach your dog to target a ball. Hold the ball and reinforce when the dog touches the ball with his nose, paws, or chest. Put the ball down on the ground, reinforce pushing the ball with nose, paws or chest. Add verbal commands to provide direction as the dog manipulates the ball.

Miniature Poodles are often used as circus dogs because they're easily trained and look fantastic on stage. While the white Pomeranian is rare, there are breeders who have them. Weighing between 3 to 7 pounds, they're nicknamed "the little dog who thinks he can" because they're very active and agile despite their size.
