Oh yeah that was a good little jackpot There huh so then we’re gonna do that Again Ready Yes good job And i open the corner okay and then this Time i’m going to wait until she uses Her other foot all right because i want The dog to use both their feet at some Point not just one foot so i’m going to Put them right on this the rug here and I’m going to wait yes to use her other Foot so i’m going to go ahead and reward Her now we can get it on cue since it’s Predictable so i’ll tell her wipe your Paws and i stay in that town look at you I’m going to stay in that tone so it’s Nice and consistent wipe your paws yes Good girl and i open up the rug and then Eventually you can move your body away From it okay So that way you’re not part of the cue Wipe your paws Yes you’re so cute and then i open up The rug and then you can also now Introduce this kind of motion for fun so Make it look like um you’re you’re doing It together if you’re like doing a cute Little video or something there we go Wipe your paws Yes good job and i opened up the rug And eventually just fade out the food no Big deal very easy to fill out the food Um sometimes i’ll just ask her to do it
So Wipe your paws Yes And i’ll just mark for it and deliver The food right to her mouth a very easy Trick very useful trick really cute Trick um wipe your paws Okay so this next trick that we have is Shame on you okay so this is where i Pretend to be mad at her i say shame on You and she’s supposed to run and well Unless i say run she’ll walk quickly and Hide her head under this pillow so it’s Really cute looking so here’s the end Result celia Shame on you Yes good job she’s sniffing around under There for some snacks But it’s really easy to teach at first So you need a pillow or some kind of Object that your dog can hide their face Under so pillows right here And i’ll take some snacks celia You still thinking about that rug yeah And i’m going to just put the snack Under here and let her get it just like That very very easy right so i’ll just Put it under the pillow just like that Put it under the pillow right i’m not Really even marking because the dog is Just going after the food right there’s Nothing really i need to communicate Right in that moment so she’s just going Right for that food okay so eventually
What she’s going to start doing is she’s Going to start seeking for the seeking For the food by putting her face under The pillow right so i put it right under There and when that starts to happen That’s where i can name it shame on you Yes Good girl Right so right as she starts to do it is When i add the word shame on you Yes good job right that one i kind of Cued to her to do good girl my bad hey Shame on you Yes good job But it has to be predictable so after Your dog is pre able to be predicted um That they’re going to put their face Under the pillow that’s when you start To name it okay it might take your dog a Couple sessions this dog has known this Trick since she was like one year old so We’re gonna wait till she tries to put Her face under the pillow Yes and i can mark and reward it i Should have named it but i got busy Blabbering Shame on you Oh that’s not really it Really cute little booper there shame on You Yes good job all right i’ll do a couple More of those good girl right so there’s No food under it anymore and she’s gonna Put her face under it shame on you
Yes Good job Right so super easy trick super cute at The end if you you could do this little Thing for emphasis for fun if you like Showing it to somebody celia Shame on you Yes i wasn’t really hidden under it but I was pretty happy with how cute you Looked with it so very easy trick very Cute trick That shame on you all right so next is How to teach your dog to jump into your Arms so the very first step is we have To get your dog confidently jumping up Into your lap this trick is new for Monster here so she might make some Mistakes she might hesitate and it’s Okay i’ll help show you how to deal with Those things now first of all make sure You have a dog that’s an appropriate Size All right don’t teach your great dane How to jump into your arms it’s not the Best hit so this is suited for a more Medium-sized to smaller sized dog Monster i know isn’t he fun sit good Girl so i’m gonna get some snacks i’m Gonna put the snack in my right hand Since she’s coming up on my left side i Want her to get the snack across my body Over here so we’ll probably see some Hesitation so First your dog has to understand how to
Jump up onto an object confidently and Off of it just like with a back stall if They’re good with that they’re going to Be a lot more um Likely to jump onto your lap so from Here i’m going to get her to jump into My lap i personally use the cue hooray To get her to jump up here because That’s what i want as my end cue Monster hurray Yes and you notice i kind of tap on my Lap a little bit just add some Encouragement and i also want to get the Dog used to being up off the ground in My arms not with stable support right so She’s still new with this so you’ll see I’m feeding her a lot so she is Comfortable with being up in the air When i first started this with her free She um she wouldn’t eat when she was in My hands because she was like what is Happening so that’s common to happen First if so just put your dog on the Ground and then pay them and eventually As they get used to this they will get More confident with being held in your Arms so i’m going to do this again with Her and then we can start adding a Little bit more height sit Good girl hooray Yes good girl so i get her up and then I’ll hold her here Free and i get her down very nice okay So i’m going to add a little bit more
Height so you can do this with like a Stool like i use a stool sometimes like I’m not in my training center i’m Practicing this in the house i use like A bar stool and i’ll get her to jump on My lap while i’m sitting on the bar Stool and then you can use some pillows To slowly start to add some height you Can do this in a regular dining room Chair as well so let me go ahead and Grab some more platforms Monster up Good girl All right a little bit more height you Want to do this very gradually monster Come good sit Good so we slightly increased it Thank you so we slightly increased the Height Just a little bit of increase the dog’s Gonna pick up on that we might see her Attitude go down because she’s gonna be A little unsure or we might see her get A little confused okay so from here i’ll Get my treats ready Hooray Yes all right very good successful Repetition right there And i’m gonna put her right on the Ground free and then add a little bit More height Hooray yes good job add some more height Free that’s super So you see i’m kind of standing
And slightly sitting so we might see Some confusion here Hooray Never mind yes I love when that happens And i’ll pay her Very good and we’ll do a little bit more Height So i want to be slightly at angle and This is where we’re going to end and Eventually you can just stand straight Up and do this but i’m going to be at a Little bit of an angle to help her out Because this is a big step for her Hooray Yes that was perfect That’s actually the first time she’s Done it from me standing like that um in This room we’ve done it in the house and Up at the boarding house but i’m really Proud of her because she’s pretty Sensitive to different environments so Yeah that’s how we start teaching the Dog how to jump into our arms it’s a Super fun trick and it’s super cute and Over time it actually helps build their Confidence with being picked up as well Next up we’re teaching the dog to put Their feet on your feet while they’re Between your legs okay so i call this Command toes but you need to What your dog needs to know is how to go Between your legs before you even start Teaching this trick so if your dog
Doesn’t know how to go between your legs Not confident that position teach that First then you can do this one so really Fun trick is actually a lot easier than I initially thought it would be so First you get your dog under under and She does this little spin thing to get Under which i personally like yes So when the dog is under you Keep their face busy so that you can get Your feet ready so you want your feet to Be tilted inwards it’s really awkward Feeling at first but then you can lure The dog onto your toes Just like this Yes and then pay When they touch your toes good job yes Just like that okay so in the beginning You have to have your feet bent and kind Of help them out help them teach that Target monster’s been practicing yes This one for a while so she’s pretty Confident yes with her feet on my feet So for her it’s easy your dogs might Need a little bit more work to get their Feet On your feet yes so free There we go so we’re going to do this Again Monster Under I get her under good girl and then i get Keep her mouth busy while i adjust my Toes and then i can lure her right onto
My toes yes and i can pay right here yes Just like that yes Yes Free Very good so then We’re going to start having our feet Positioned like a normal person now and Actually moving forward obviously make Sure your dog is consistently touching Your dog before you do that yes you’re So cute Under Get my dog under And then i’m going to go ahead and lure Her feet right onto my toes this time i Have my feet pointed slightly inwards Not yes nearly as drastic as it was Before and then if i want to start Adding some movement i can lure her and Move my feet and your dog’s feet are Supposed to stay on your toes like this Just like that right now her foot came Off a little bit there no big deal she Reset she fixed it free and then i can Free the dog okay and then over time you Can fade out the lures you can fade out The help because straighten out your Feet more under Good girl and you can start adding the Cue toes Yes good girl Yes good job And then i can start Yes walking
With her feet On my feet Yes super silly trick super fun trick Absolutely love it free good girl I call it toes i’ve heard people call Other things But yeah that’s how you teach your dog Toes next trick is crawl so Army crawling your dog’s belly’s on the Ground they’re moving their legs they’re Doing the shimmy thing it’s really cute So obviously your dog needs to know how To be in a down position and be Comfortable in that position before you Can teach crawl so after your dog knows A nice down then you can start teaching The dog to move forward a little bit so I start off with putting the lure right In her face Having it towards the ground Moving it just a teeny bit yes marking And rewarding any little effort this is Easier for some dogs it’s harder for Other dogs other dogs you might need to Use your arm as a guide if they try to Pop up from that down position you can Guide the arm don’t push it down it’s Just there to help guide them so they’re Less likely to get up so Very easy crawl and then we introduce The snack yes we pay that effort and Then you can introduce more and more Distance that the dog is crawling crawl Yes good job
Crawl Yes good job Crawl And then over time Your dog’s going to get comfortable with That now We got the dog crawling when we’re on The ground next to them a lot of us want Our dogs to be in a down away from us And be able to crawl to you from a Longer distance right this is how you Get that so first of all your dog has to Understand how to touch a target right I’m using this one here because Initially i put peanut butter on this And i would have her lick it as i moved It now she’s really good at touching it So i don’t have to do that but you can Do that with your dog if they have any Issues so shoehorn just straight from Amazon very easy uh so i’m going to put It right in front of her face and i’m Going to tell her crawl yes good job now Mark and i’ll pay her on the ground Between her feet kind of important where The reward comes from because your dog’s Going to want to be a magnet to where It’s coming from are we going to roll Over now is this what we’re doing Okay come here man good down good stay Let’s wander to stop crawling There we go so i give her a stay All right here we go Crawl
Yes so i start off with the target Closer to her And then i can move it further That’s not that’s a bug crawl Yes there we go she’s kind of looking Around there a little confused exactly Where she was going no big deal i just Waited until she re-engaged at the Target so i’m going to move it further Stay Crawl Yes and she’s anticipating a little bit She’s crawling a little bit more before I want her to it’s okay Good girl stay and i’m gonna go even Further this time Crawl Oh you cheated Yes so often times i’ll show you how to Deal with that because your dog’s going To do that at some point monster free Down so when they start Here we go when they start Wanting to get up to move because that’s Easier i’ll throw in a down command and Then we’ll start over all right so the Dog starts to anticipate oh i’m getting Up she’s going to want me to down so i’m Just going to be closer to the ground so Crow Yes there we go very good but i like This target because i can get that Distance and it’s coming from down here Good girl crawl
Down so there she goes she tried to Cheat again stay Good girl She’s trying to follow my visual cues That’s okay stay good girl try again Curl Good girl Yes there we go and over time you can Fade that out i have this silly little Hand signal where i do like a little man Walking like this so To get her freeze-dried treats really Quick good girl so i’m going to give her That cue so you can see it without any More targets the finished product crumb Good girl Good Job good job Yes That’s good enough i’m happy with that And that’s how you teach your dog the Army crawl [Laughter] Thanks again for watching i hope you Guys enjoyed today’s episode make sure You hit that like button subscribe hit The notification bell if you want to Support the channel of course as always Hit that join button and we’ll see you Guys in the next one thanks again [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
