Your Greek Harehound can likewise be taught to toss the treat upon hearing a particular number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count clearly and deliberately, 1, 2, 3, and after that touch him under the chin. Before he has actually learned the trick he will toss it up as frequently at one, two, four, as he will at one, two, three, but he should be drilled up until he will not toss it till he hears “3.” It will make it much easier for him if you slightly emphasize the “THREE” word.

After a while you can utilize numerous combinations of numbers and he will wait up until he hears the stressed “three.” As you are training him don’t make him wait too long prior to you say “3,” and allow him to eat the treat.
