1. Shake Hands (Paw)
🖐️ A classic and cute trick!
- How to teach: Ask your dog to “sit,” then gently lift their paw while saying “shake.” Reward immediately with praise and a treat. Repeat until they offer the paw on their own.
2. Spin in a Circle
🌀 This is great for agility and focus.
- How to teach: Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose, then slowly move it in a circle. Say “spin” as they follow it around. Reward when they complete the circle.
3.Bang Bang
💀 A funny trick that always gets a reaction.
- How to teach: Ask your dog to lie down. Then say “bang!” while gently guiding them onto their side with a treat. Hold the position for a second, then reward. Repeat until they do it on command.
4. Roll Over
🔄 A bit more advanced but super impressive.
- How to teach: Start with your dog in a “down” position. Use a treat to lure their nose over their shoulder so they roll. Say “roll over” as they complete the motion. Reward immediately.
5. Take a Bow
🤸 A playful way to end a trick session.
- How to teach: After standing, gently lure your dog’s front half down with a treat (while keeping the rear up). Say “bow” as they stretch into the pose. Reward and repeat.
Tips for success:
- Keep training sessions short and fun (5–10 minutes).
- Use small, tasty treats.
- Always end on a positive note.
