“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’s a great trick to teach your Beagle. It isn’t the simplest trick to be learned however it can be elaborated on and shown in a number of various variations to impress the majority of individuals.
To teach your Beagle this trick, call your dog to you, allowing him to stand or sit down, as he wishes, and hold his head still with one hand, while you hold a snack on his nose.
Teach your Beagle the “on trust” trick
State to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and restraining his head from moving using 1 hand and holding up an intimidating finger with the other and repeating the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Beagle the “paid for” trick
Next, let go of his head, stating “paid for,” and give him a little touch beneath the chin. This will cause him to toss the treat up and catch it. Naturally, in his earlier attempts he won’t be able to catch the treat, but he must be permitted to eat the snack after it hits the floor.
It’s an excellent trick for your Beagle
Constant repeating of this training will produce effectiveness. Over time you ought to stop restraining his head with your hand and enable him to balance the treat on his nose up until you say “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the treat between his teeth and to not swallow it until told to do so. This trick can be made more impressive by holding a discussion with your Beagle. For instance, you may state: “Buddy, old boy, here is a very tasty treat, but it is ‘on trust.'”
Somewhat stress the word “trust” and then state: “I am glad you do not like eating things on trust, however this I have just discovered has been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Beagle can also be taught to toss the snack on hearing a specific number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count clearly and intentionally, one, two, three, and after that tap him under the chin. Before he has learned the trick he will toss it up as often at 1, 2, 4, as he will at 1, 2, 3, however he must be drilled up until he will not toss it until he hears “3.” It will make it much easier for him if you slightly emphasize the “THREE” word.
After a while you can use lots of combinations of numbers and he will wait till he hears the emphasized “three.” As you are teaching him don’t make him wait too long prior to you state “3,” and enable him to eat the snack.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be a pretty difficult trick for your Beagle to master and requires lots of perseverance from you. Keep in mind, do not punish your Beagle if he can’t master the trick, rather blame yourself for being a lousy teacher.:–RRB- In any case, take pleasure in teaching your Beagle this trick and have loads of fun along the way.
