To teach your Sabueso Espanol tricks, even easy ones, you need to get hold of some of his favorite treats, teach him in a secluded suitable location and manage to keep the coaching sessions to under 15 minutes or the Sabueso Espanol will begin to get tired. Bear in mind when he gets something right give him lots of praise and a reward treat, just be cautious not to get him extra excited or he might possibly lose concentration.
Teach your Sabueso Espanol to give you his paw
To get your Sabueso Espanol to offer you his paw, first get him to sit, then as you say the word ‘paw’ take his paw in your hand and offer him a treat. And then do it again, and after a couple of successful tries do not take his paw so quickly. State the word ‘paw’, count to one and only then take it. You need to observe that he is bringing his paw up as you state the word. If he does not then go back to stating it at the very same time. Do it a few more times then slow your response once again. After 2 or 3 sessions most Sabueso Espanols pick this trick up rather quickly.
Teach your Sabueso Espanol to offer you a high 5
Like a lot of tricks the high 5 is a continuation of a more basic trick, in this case the paw trick. Place a snack in between your two fingers and raise your hand just a bit higher than you’d raise it for the paw trick. Your Sabueso Espanol will assume you desire to perform the paw trick and will reach for the snack with his paw as we taught him earlier. While he reaches up you state “high 5” and offer your Sabueso Espanol the snack. Once your Sabueso Espanol has actually mastered the paw trick this 1 should be extremely simple to understand and with only a couple of sessions he will be doing it from your hand signal rather than your voice.
Teach your Sabueso Espanol to leap through a hoop
Before you begin this 1 I would simply like to ask you to be a little practical and not suspend the hoop higher than necessary as you don’t really want your Sabueso Espanol to injure himself while performing the trick. Set your Sabueso Espanol on one side of a hula hoop, get him to take note of your hand on the other side of the hoop. Place a snack in your hand and give the Sabueso Espanol the command to stop sitting. Initially he may attempt to go around or beneath the hula hoop. When this happens start once again. Your Sabueso Espanol wants the snack and will quickly learn that walking around or below doesn’t get it so he will quickly start going through it. The minute he does, state “hoop” and offer him the snack. He’ll quickly be jumping through the hoop on the command of “hoop”. When I first began teaching this trick I owned a medium sized dog, so I began with the hoop 6 inches from the ground and gradually brought it to waist high. In the event that you own a smaller sized dog you might wish to start with the hoop on the ground so he just goes through the hoop and then gradually elevate it more as he gets accustomed to the trick.
I trust you have enjoyed these 3 tricks you can teach your Sabueso Espanol. Have patience with your Sabueso Espanol and most importantly, have fun!
