Dog Trick of the Day

Hello, my friends! This is Allison. And I would like to ask you this: Are you ready to have some more doggy fun?! You are? Great! Now lets get started teaching you dog how to... cross the street on command! ( Trust me, this is VERY helpful sometimes! I have had experience...) Now, lets get started! 

Supplies

A dog that knows the trick, come.

Two people.

A leash. ( You always need a leash for dog walks!)

A treat for reward.( Optional!)

( You need to go on a dog walk, were you can cross on a really non-busy street.)

1. First, leash up your dog. You do not want to loose him/her!

2. Go on a dog walk! Make sure it is along a non-busy road!

3. Have one person walking the dog, while the other person is ahead,on the other side of the road.

4.When you get to the point where the other person is just across from you, have them tell the dog, "cross!" If the dog heads over to them, well, your dog did it! Give them lots of praise! If your dog didn't do it, well, no worries. Just have the person say come! Hopefully, the dog will go. Then give lots of praise to your marvelous, smart dog.

Still not working? Just repeat step four! Remember, a dogs attention span is not long! Keep that in mind. Well, congratulations, your dog knows how to cross the street on command!
