Most people are very fond of a pet dog. To train your pet is truly a pleasure and fun. This way you can have better bonding and it keeps you mentally and physically active. Most important thing is that you should have the patience to give time to your pets. You can flaunt them in front of your friends or at a party. Without any professional help also you can teach them few things to do. Here are 5 things you can teach your pets to do.
TAKE A BOW.
These are pretty simple things to teach your pet. Dogs normally stretch themselves to relax and bow naturally. Simply say, ‘take a bow’ when your pet is found doing this and reward. When you keep practicing the trick for some time, your pet will understand that command. Don’t be harsh while teaching.
SHAKE HANDS.
This might be a little difficult but practice will take care of all this. If you wish to teach him how to shake hands, kneel to his and make him sit on the floor. Say ‘shake’ and offer your palm. Gently lift his elbow and place it on your palm. After practicing it a lot he will surely learn and shake handshand when listening to the command.
HIGH FIVE.
Here also techniques remain same. Sit next to your dog, say command and lift his leg and do a high-five. Importantly make sure you stop the moment you realise, he is not comfortable with the process.
SPIN.
Though this trick seems difficult, it is very easy to teach it. But you have to adopt a better way to teach it. Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose and say the command of spin. When he completes circular motion, offers him a treat. This way he will learn to spin.
JUMP.
In this training you can use the same technique as you use in spin, but with small change. Hold the treat near the nose and say command and slowly lift the treat in hand upwards. Your dog will jump to grab a treat and will learn to jump with command.
