Weekly Taming Tip!



Each week we'll share a Taming Tip for you, your family and your friends to do with your dog(s)! These tips will help teach your dog real world manners in a fun way. Leave us a comment and tell us how it went!

Taming Tip #24:

Does your dog smile?  Does your dog give you his paw?  Does your dog stretch into a bow in the mornings?  Over the next week, catch your dog doing one of their cute behaviors and give him a great reward every time he does it!  A clicker is great at capturing behavior, when he does the behavior, click and give him a treat!  When he begins to offer the behavior more, add a cue to the behavior such as smile, shake or bow.  While he is still associating the cue with the behavior, help him out by saying your cue while he is doing the behavior.  Make sure it is a behavior that you really like, because you will get more of it!
