Top 5 Fun Things To Teach Your Dog

Of course having a dog at home is probably one of the coolest pets that you can have. Since you will be spending a lot of time with your dog, you have to make sure that both of you will have tons of fun. Whether you have Chihuahua or a Chocolate Labrador, it is important that you find time to teach him cool and fun tricks.

Fun Tricks Your Dog Should Learn

If you have decided to start dog training and help him learn new tricks, you may want to try to teach him 1 fun trick a day. This way you can help him remember and master each trick easily and accurately. Here are 5 cool and really fun tricks that you can teach your dog:

1. The “Take a Bow” Trick – this is one of your dog’s natural behavior, which he does when he is in a playful mood. He also bows when is asking other dogs and even his owner to come and play with him. You may use a doggy treat to train him to bow – which means that he would be lowering his head down to his chest while in a straight sitting position.
2. The “Shake My Hand Trick” – let people know how friendly your dog is by teaching him how to shake their hands. Just stick out your hand, or gently grab one of his paws and shake it as if you are giving someone a hand shake.
3. The “Wave” Trick – You can train your dog to wave to say hello and goodbye. Anyone who will see this will be amazed at how friendly and well trained your dog is. You can teach him by following the same method when teaching him the “Shake my Hand” trick. But instead of shaking his paws up and down, you will simply shake his paw sideways.
4. The “Speak to Me” Trick – dogs have a tendency to bark too much. This trick will help contain his uncontrollable barking and to “Speak when he is told”.
5. The “Kiss Me” Trick – this also helps control your dog’s uncontrollable nibbling and yanking. Teach him to give you a slight and soft peck on the cheeks, which is also a good sign of endearment and showing him that you appreciate and care for him a lot.

Teaching your dog new and fun tricks is the perfect way to bond with him. Not only will you make him the star of the show, you will also be able to show him the right kind of affection, a man’s best friend truly deserves.
