Dog Trick of the Day

Hello my friends! it is Allison ready to teach you a wonderful dog trick. Yes, I know I have been going nuts with dog tricks, but I have tons of ideas! Are you ready to learn one of them? Well lets say it actually has to parts... first it is seek!

Supplies
Clicker
Treats
You
A dog that knows the command come, and stay.

1. First, command stay. stand behind a close wall, clearly visible to your dog.

2. Command with the word, come!

3. Keep repeating. Lets say, training has a lot of repeating. As you repeat, get farther and farther from were your dog can see you. Make sure it doesn't walk around looking for you. Make sure you are not to far though! You still need your dog to find you! As you keep going, slowly, change the word come to seek.

4. If you hide, and your dog comes automatically to you when you say seek, your dog should get it eventually. When they do get it, congratulations! Repeat until your dog can do it every time. Now your dog can seek.

If you have a lizard that is great in photos, enter it in our contest! We need a mydivapets lizard! Maybe you can own the mydivapets lizard! Just send us a photo. Me and Katie will decide if it is mydivapets material.

Thanks for reading! Watch out for part two! Happy training!
