Easy Poodle Tricks you and your Dog Will Love

Training a Poodle is not a difficult task because of the fact that this breed is regarded as one of the most intelligent breeds. This article contains easy poodle tricks you and your dog will love...

Teaching your dog Poodle tricks is the best way to make your pet more lovable, smart, and rewarding. Using praises and small treats as a reward will drive your pet more to follow and remember every trick you introduce to him. But beware of practicing those new tricks for a long time or he will get bored, which means everything you have taught him will just fly out in the air.

Start by the very basic Poodle tricks like 搒hake hands? 搕urn around? 搇ay down? and so on. Here are the easy tricks you and your dog will love:

Shake Hands. Have your dog sit on the floor facing you, say shake hands and take his paw with your hand. Hold his paw, say 揼ood dog?as a sign of appreciation for following you and then let go.

Repeat the activity after a few minutes but do not take his paws this time. If he does not respond to it, take your Poodle's paws again, repeat the process until such time that he responds to the command.

Turn Around. Let your Poodle stand up facing you for him to see a treat in your hand. Stand still, say turn around, lead his nose around with the treat so he walks in a circle. When he is back facing you, praise him and give him the treat.

Lay Down. Allow him to sniff the treat you are holding but do not let him have it.燣ower the treat to the floor while your dog follows it down, too. Be sure to say lay down as your dog begins to lower himself. Only give him the treat once he has lowered himself all the way on the floor, and repeat the words many times.

After your Poodle has learned to lay down, you can practice him with stay. It is okay to let your dog stay for 15 or 20 minutes or even to fall asleep, for it is helpful when he needs to calm down once in a while. Give him the treat while he is lying down and not after he gets up.

Crawl. Let your dog lay down, hold a treat just in front of his nose and say crawl. If he starts to stand up, say crawl again and again while pulling the treat away, keeping it low near the ground. When he moves even an inch or two without standing up, praise him and reward him with the treat.

Speak. Choose a game that your Poodle loves to play, like catch with a ball, or hide and seek with a toy. Then get him excited by saying, "Let's play! Want to play?" and show him the ball or toy. Jump and act silly so he barks and then say, "Good dog, speak!" Then play the game as his reward for learning "speak".

Easy Poodle tricks like those mentioned above work because words are being put with something your dog does. Pretty soon, every time your dog hears the words you often say like 搒hake hands?and 搕urn around? he will just give you his paw or walk in a circle. At this point, give him a hug, rub his ears, give him a treat and say, "Good boy!" because he deserves the praise and dogs love that.
