Dog Trick of the Day

2/5/12




Jump Through Hoop:


1.Get a hula-hoop and stand it up vertically and wait for your dog to put a paw in the hoop.  Click and Treat when done.


2.Repeat step 1 until your dog knows what you want has something to do with the hoop.


3.Wait for your dog to put 2 feet in the hoop.  Do this 10 times.  Click and treat when done correctly each time.


4.Wait for your dog to put feet in the hoop.  Do this 10 times.  Click and treat when done.


5.Wait for your dog to put all of their feet in the hoop.  Do this 10 times.  Click and treat when done.


6.Raise the hoop a little off the ground.  If your dog already knows jump say jump with it.  Click and treat when done.


7.Repeat step 6 until your dog is jumping through the hoop constantly.


8.If your dog doesn't know what jump means go to 2/3/12.  Look for my Trick of the Day There it will tell you how to teach your dog to jump.


9.Raise the hoop a little higher off the ground and get your dog to jump through the hoop 10 times before raising it more.  When it's an inch under what your dog normally jumps that is where you stop.


10.Well done,you've taught your dog jump through hoop!








Remember to take breaks when you train your dog,because your dog will get bored and just quit.
