“On Trust” and “Paid For” for is one of the oldest dog tricks that has been providing as much amusement as anything a dog can possibly do from the early 1900s. It is a fantastic trick to teach your Scottish Deerhound. It is not the easiest trick to be taught but it can be built on and presented in numerous different ways to impress the majority of people.
To teach your Scottish Deerhound this trick, call him to you, enabling him to stand up or sit down, as he desires, and hold his head steady with one hand, while you stabilize a snack on his nose.
Teach your Scottish Deerhound the “on trust” trick
State to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and limiting his head from moving using one hand and holding up a warining finger with the other and repeatedly saying the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Scottish Deerhound the “paid for” trick
Next, let go of his head, stating “paid for,” and give him a little touch under the chin. This will cause him to toss the treat up and capture it. Obviously, in his first efforts he won’t be able to catch the treat, but he must be permitted to eat the snack after it lands on the floor.
It’s a great trick for your Scottish Deerhound
Continuous repeating of this training will produce effectiveness. With time you must stop limiting his head with your hand and allow him to stabilize the treat on his nose up until you say “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the snack in between his teeth and to not swallow it up until told to do so. This technique can be made more remarkable by holding a discussion with your Scottish Deerhound. For instance, you may say: “Buddy, old boy, here is a really yummy snack, but it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly stress the word “trust” and after that state: “I am pleased you do not like eating things on trust, but this I have just found out has actually been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Scottish Deerhound can also be taught to toss the snack after hearing a specific number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count plainly and deliberately, one, two, three, and after that tap him under the chin. Before he has learned the technique he will toss it up as frequently at one, two, four, as he will at one, two, three, but he should be drilled till he will not toss it till he hears “3.” It will make it simpler for him if you slightly stress the “THREE” word.
After some time you can use numerous combinations of numbers and he will wait up until he hears the highlighted “3.” While training him do not make him wait too long before you state “3,” and allow him to eat the treat.
“Trust” and “Paid For” may be a significantly challenging trick for your Scottish Deerhound to learn and requires lots of patience from you. Keep in mind, do not penalize your Scottish Deerhound if he can’t learn the technique, rather blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, enjoy teaching your Scottish Deerhound this trick and have great deals of fun while you’re at it.
