Spin!

Spin! Good doggie!
Teach your dog how to spin around.

This is another very easy trick to teach your dog, and it will look very cool when it reaches the final stages. Make sure you have a treat or toy that your dog will remain focused on!

STEP 1. First, command "Spin". Then, with the treat, lure your dog around in a circle as if he is chasing his tail. After a couple of rotations, reward him with the treat and praise.

STEP 2. Eventually (after the command and execution goes without a hitch) you should begin to attempt this without the treat, using only voice commands and hand signals. I recommend beginning with a food lure for one spin, then no food lure with the next. Then try having one spin with a food reward and two without, etc. Of course, verbal and physical praise should still be given to your dog for all of that hard work. =)
