He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
END ON A HIGH NOTE!
Practicing new tricks is mentally tiring for your dog. Keep it fun and end the session while your dog is still wanting more. End on a successful note, even if you have to go back to an easier behavior to achieve this.
RELEASE WORD, "OK!"
Your dog needs to understand at which times he is under your control and at which times he has been released. When instructed to "down" or "stay" for example, your dog is expected to remain in that position until you release him with your release word. "OK" is the most commonly used release word. When a training session has ended, "OK" releases your dog to run and play. "OK" also releases your dog to jump out of the parked car, to pounce on a toy, and to play with another dog.
Motivators/ Rewards
New dog trainers are always stingy with rewards. They attempt to reward with praise or regular dog kibble. Trick training, however, is dependent upon the dog's motivation and you want to make this activity the most fun thing he does all day! Go ahead, give 'em the good stuff!
Jackpot
We all know the lure of a jackpot. Having achieved it once, we will sit at the slot machine all night in hopes of being rewarded with that elusive prize. The jackpot theory, when applied to dog training, can be a more effective motivator than consistent rewards.
Here's how to use it: ask your dog to perform some behaviors he is working on. If he does them fairly well, give him no reward or a small reward. When he performs a behavior very well or better than he has in the past, jackpot! Give him a whole handful of treats!
Wow, will that make an impression on him! He will continue trying extra hard in hopes of hitting that jackpot again.
Along the same lines, using several different types of treats during a training session can keep your dog motivated-"maybe I'll get the hot dog this time!"
Stay - Wait Difference
"Stay" means: don't move a muscle until i release you.
"Wait" is less formal, meaning: stay approximately there for a short time. "Wait until i gather my things before jumping out of the car."
Top 10 trick training tips
1- reward with tasty treats
2- reward while your dog is in the correct position
3- reward immediately ( no fishing in pockets )
4- train before dinner
5- training comes before playtime
6- end the session with your dog wanting more
7- be consistent
8- motivate - use your happy voice
9- be patient - it won't happen overnight
10- be a fun person to be around
Call your dog to come for good things. Never call "come" for a bath or trip to the vet - go and get your dog instead.
Common mistake
A common timing mistake is in rewarding too late. For example, you tell your dog to sit, and he does. You fish for a treat in your pocket, and he stands up to receive it. What did you just reward? You rewarded him for standing up! The treat should have been given while the dog was in the proper position -sitting. Always reward your dog while he is in the desired position.
