Teach your Shikoku the “paid for” trick
Next, release his head, saying “paid for,” and give him a little tap beneath the chin. This will cause him to toss the treat up and catch it. Of course, in his earlier attempts he will not be able to catch the treat, however he should be enabled to consume the treat after it hits the floor.

Constant repeating of this training will produce efficiency. With time you must stop restraining his head with your hand and allow him to balance the snack on his nose up until you say “Paid for.”
He can likewise 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 Shikoku. For instance, you might state: “Pal, old boy, here is a very yummy snack, however it is ‘on trust.'”
Somewhat emphasize the word “trust” and after that state: “I am happy you dislike eating things on trust, but this I have just found out has been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Shikoku can also be taught to toss the treat on hearing a certain 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 technique he will toss it up as frequently at one, two, four, as he will at 1, 2, 3, but he should be drilled till he will not toss it until he hears “three.” It will make it much easier for him if you somewhat emphasize the “THREE” word.
After some time you can utilize many combinations of numbers and he will wait until he hears the highlighted “three.” As you are training him don’t make him wait too long prior to you state “three,” and enable him to consume the snack.
“Trust” and “Paid For” may be a significantly hard trick for your Shikoku to perfect and needs lots of perseverance from you. Keep in mind, do not penalize your Shikoku if he can’t learn the technique, rather blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, take pleasure in teaching your Shikoku this trick and have loads of fun while you’re at it.
