Command: “Spin”
Training Steps:
- Lure With a Treat: Hold a treat near your dog’s nose, then slowly lead it around in a circle, encouraging your dog to spin around following the treat.
- Introduce the Command: As you begin the motion, say “Spin.” Ensure the movement is slow enough for your dog to follow comfortably.
- Reward Completion: Once your dog completes a full turn, give them the treat and praise them enthusiastically.
- Increase Difficulty: Practice until your dog can spin on the verbal command without the need for a treat to guide them.
Explanation: “Spin” is a playful command that can be used to stimulate your dog mentally and physically. It adds variety to training sessions and can be an entertaining trick for onlookers.
Use Case: Great for performances or competitions, or simply as an engaging activity during playtime, helping to keep your dog active and responsive.
