Take a Bow!

Ladybug Pup Ladybug Pup


Bravo Princess! *clap*
Teach your dog how to take a bow.

This trick is quite similar to "Down" which is the command for lay down. Only this time we want your dog's bum in the air as a protest.

STEP 1. Let your dog know you have his food reward.

STEP 2. Command "Take a Bow" and drag the treat in between his front legs.

STEP 3. Here's where it gets tricky for dogs who already know the "Down" command using the lure method. You must praise and reward before his bum sinks to the ground. For the first few times around, I wouldn't wait longer than 2 seconds to reward your dog. Of course, after more practice you can extend the time for this trick.

(If Fido is having problems keeping his bum up, it may be helpful to have someone else physically hold it up while you administer the command and reward.)
