GREAT PET TRICKS Do you have some good pet tricks that you could teach us all to do? Why not write up the way you taught your dog its famous trick so that we can all teach our own dogs to do the same. You can Email Us and we will get your tricks up on our Pawzitive Attitudes trick page. WAVE Teaching this trick is good for doggy PR because it can give your dog an opportunity to greet people instead of jumping all over them. My dog has started waving on her own when people leave the house. It is so cute! To perform this trick your dog must be able to raise a paw in the air while staying stationery. 1. Start with your dog in a Sit/Stay and move a few steps away from him. Go back every few seconds for a full minute to reward your dog for not following you.( If your dog already knows sit/stay you can eliminate this step) 2. Standing in front of your dog, ask for his paw, and click and treat him for giving it to you. Do this several times in a row. 3. Take a step away from your dog and ask for his paw. Click and treat the slightest effort to raise his paw without trying to move towards you. You may need to reward him for staying for a few repetitions before he will remain in position and lift his paw. 4. As your dog raises his paw to place it in your outstretched hand, start fading this cue by removing your hand quickly. Click and treat your dog for swiping the air. 5. Repeat this step until your dog starts raising his paw when he sees your outstretched hand. 6. As your dog starts to offer swiping the air readily without moving forward, you can begin to verbally label this new behaviour Wave. 7. Change the hand signal to an actual wave by changing the position of your hand from an outstretched palm to a waving hand. Offer the new cue (the waving hand) right before the old cue (the outstretched hand). Gradually fade out the old cue until your dog is performing the behaviour when you are waving at him. 8. Add in distractions and practice in new places until the behaviour is reliable. - Found in the book "The Everything Dog Training and Tricks Book" by Gerilyn J.
