Hello everyone here’s a tip if you have A short dog and you want to do leg Weaving you can sit on a couch and put One foot out ahead of you and the other One next to the couch like that so the Dog is highly likely to go under your Leg and it’s as though you took a step Forward and then simply switch feet so It’s like you’re taking steps like that Go legs Good job and you can lure your dog Underneath And as your dog starts to follow the Hand signal like that good job I’m doing Two at a time here and they’ve never Worked together doing this but I wanted To go back and show you what it’s like Um so they look a little bit untrained But basically once they start to do it You can add a verbal cue and my cue is Legs so I say go legs and then lure them Underneath my legs and then eventually It’s just the foot coming out that gets The dog to go under tug go legs and then You can start to stand up go legs good Go legs good go legs tuck your legs good You can also teach your dogs to go Around you while you’re standing up so You hold your feet together and away From the couch and then you just lure The dog underneath your legs like this Good job Ready go around clap go around Good
Good job tug go around ready God go Around Time go around Cloud go around Good Tiger’s a little confused and now Standing up are you ready Go around clap go round Tug go around Good you can also train this Behavior Using a Target stick and Cones or Perhaps you want to have flower pots so Your dog weaves around flower pots when You say a verbal cue or you could use Water gallons of water so we have these Cones here and but you don’t need to buy Cones you can use something around the House and then this is just a pole that I bought at the hardware store and duct Taped the lid of a coffee container on Top and then I have a video on how to Train targeting using a stick that has Food in it which I learned from Mary Ray An amazing trainer so um I’m just going To put the food in the Target stick and He’s already trained to follow the Target stick and I’m gonna say get it And lower him around the cones like this Good So you want to train your dog to follow The target stick with duration before You start to do this exercise And basically with a Target stick you’re Going to use it as you would if you were Luring the dog with a hand Target or
Food you gradually teach the dog that With different behaviors the target Stick gets faded away either by small Approximations so the target stick might Get oh he’s gonna scratch the target Stick might get higher up Go get it follow it the target stick Might get higher up or further away so Here it’s higher up than you’re still Doing the behavior or maybe I use it to Point go weave clad go weave good go Weep Good like that awesome good job So I’m going to add the Q go weave and Then I’m going to do the lore so I’m Going to say cloud go weave and then Lure him around that cone good Ready Club gooey Gooey Whoops and I made a mistake there so I’m Going to try again He did follow the target stick and he Doesn’t know what I want so I’m gonna Give him the treat the benefit of the Doubt and then I’m going to make my Gesture bigger so that he goes all the Way around the cone sometimes I I pull The target stick along the whoops pull The target stick along the ground to get Him more interested but it’s hard to do It while I’m looking at the camera and Filming but you can see that it can Build his interest in in moving faster
Good However some dogs you might want to Build their excitement for a Target Stick and others who might want to calm Them down so we tug my other dog here on The couch he would get way too excited Good if I were to Um do that with the target stick I’ve Just got to get more treats for cloud To go out go away Good if you can get low to the ground Like this you can also use your arms to Pretend their legs and teach this cool Trick as well and I’ll link a video in The description below on How to Train This trick tuck go legs Tango legs can’t Go legs good woohoo go legs tackle legs Tuck your legs Echo legs good both Paws Good thanks so much for watching don’t Forget to hit that subscribe button
