Dog Trick of the Day

8/6/12
Everybody Wave:

1.Make sure each dog can fluently and reliably wave on a hand signal.

2.Line the dogs up and reinforce them for holding Stay.

3.Cue the dogs to Wave and click and treat all of them.

4.Practice with two dogs at a time until they are competing with each other to raise their paws the fastest.

5.Encourage extra-fast efforts by clicking and treating only the dog that was first.

6.Gradually add more dogs, following the same rules; the faster dogs get treated more often than the slower dogs.

7.If one dog is particularly slow, take hi aside and teach him to wave faster before putting him back into the group.

8.Yay, you taught your dogs Everybody Wave.
