1. Get clicker-savvy. More specifically, learn how to use a clicker (website listed below). Clickers are what animal trainers (it started at Sea World with dolphins) use for their tricks. They work with horses and cats. Those of us who train our dogs not only for tricks but also in performance events rely on clickers extensively.
If you think this is some gimmick, at the site below read about the “box trick” or “100 things to do with a box.” Using a clicker and a clicker savvy dog, you can put a box on the floor and within 20 minutes and a handful of small treats, get the dog to….stand in it….put it on his head….flip it in the air….turn it upside down….dance around it.
2. Several keys to achieve more sophisticated tricks:
–look for things your dog tends to do anyway and turn it into a trick. For instance, if your dog likes to spin than teach him to do a figure eight or do weaves between your legs. But start with things your dog already does and build on them or refine them.
–backchain. Don’t teach a complicated trick all at once. Break it into pieces and usually start with the end last. Then add on to the end until eventually it becomes a very sophisticated trick.
–keep it short. Train for 5 minutes. Use treats. End on a positive note (if the dog isn’t getting the trick, end with something he can do, treat him and end it). That way the dog associates “trick time” with you as fun and not boring.
3. Get this book: Agility Tricks, by Donna Duford. While the target audience is agility dogs (and thus tricks that help with agility competition), it is compatable with clicker training and gets into some of the tricks (jumping over you, weaving between your legs, directional commands like “left” or “right”) that you may not be doing now.
