Have you ever wanted your dog to say please? This trick won't be able to make them talk but they'll look polite when asking for a treat.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Ask your dog to stand on all fours and facing you.
- Hold a treat in front of their nose and take it to the ground.
- Say ‘BOW’ when you do this.
- When your dog starts to lower their front, reward them with the treat.
- Say ‘GOOD’ when you reward them.
- Repeat this, keeping the treat close to your dog’s body.
- After a few times, use only your hand motion as a visual cue when saying ‘BOW’.
- If they lie down, stand side-on to them and pop your arm under their tummy. Use the other hand to lure their nose down to the ground.
