To teach your Dogo Cubano tricks, even easy ones, you should have some savory snacks, take him to an obscure suitable location and always keep the coaching sessions to under 15 minutes or the Dogo Cubano will start to get tired. Take note that when he gets something correct give him great deals of appreciation and a reward snack, just beware not to get him extremely excited or he will lose concentration.
Teach your Dogo Cubano to offer you his paw
To teach your Dogo Cubano to give you his paw, initially get him to sit, then as you state the word ‘paw’ take his paw in your hand and give him a treat. Next do it again, and after a couple of tries don’t take his paw so quickly. State the word ‘paw’, count to one and then take it. You ought to observe that he is bringing his paw upward as you state the word. If he does not then go back to saying it at the same time. Do it a few more times then slow your reaction again. After 2 or 3 sessions most Dogo Cubanos pick this trick up rather easily.
Teach your Dogo Cubano to give you a high five
Like a great deal of tricks the high five is a progression of an earlier trick, in this case the paw trick. Hold a treat in your fingers and lift your hand a little bit higher than you would raise it for the paw trick. Your Dogo Cubano will presume you desire to perform the paw trick and will grab the snack with his paw as we trained him previously. As he rises you say “high five” and give your Dogo Cubano the snack. When your Dogo Cubano has mastered the paw trick this one will probably be extremely simple to understand and with only a couple of sessions he will be accomplishing it from your hand signal instead of voice control.
Teach your Dogo Cubano to leap through a hoop
Before you start this one I would simply like to ask you to be a little practical and not hold the hoop too high as you do not want your Dogo Cubano to harm himself while carrying out the trick. Place your Dogo Cubano on 1 side of a hula hoop, get him to take notice of your hand on the opposite side of the hoop. Hold a treat in your hand and give the Dogo Cubano the command to stop sitting. At first he may try to walk around or underneath the hoop. In the event that this takes place start once again. Your Dogo Cubano desires the snack and will quickly learn that walking around or below doesn’t get it done so he will soon start going through it. The second he does, state “hoop” and offer him the treat. He will soon be leaping through the hoop on the command of “hoop”. When I first began doing this trick I had a medium sized dog, so I began with the hoop 6 inches from the ground and gradually lifted it to waist height. If you have a smaller sized dog you may wish to begin with the hoop touching the floor so he just goes through the hoop and then gradually raise it more once he gets accustomed to the trick.
I know you have enjoyed these 3 tricks you can teach your Dogo Cubano. Have patience with your Dogo Cubano and above all, have a good time!
