To teach your Drever this trick, call your dog to you, enabling him to stand up or take a seat, as he wants, and hold his head steady with one hand, while you hold a snack on his nose.
Teach your Drever the “on trust” trick
State to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and limiting his head from swaying using 1 hand and holding up a threatening finger with the other and reciting the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Drever the “paid for” trick
Next, release his head, saying “paid for,” and give him a little nudge under the chin. This will cause him to toss the treat up and capture it. Of course, in his first attempts he will not be able to capture the snack, but he should be allowed to eat the treat after it hits the ground.
It’s an excellent trick for your Drever
Continuous repeating of this trick will produce efficiency. With time you must stop limiting his head with your hand and permit him to balance the treat on his nose up until you state “Paid for.”
He can likewise be taught to hold the treat in between his teeth and to not swallow it until informed to do so. This trick can be made more remarkable by holding a discussion with your Drever. For example, you may state: “Friend, old boy, here is a really yummy treat, however it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly highlight the word “trust” and then say: “I am delighted you dislike consuming things on trust, however this I have actually just found out has been ‘paid for,'” highlighting the words “paid for.”
Your Drever can also 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 intentionally, 1, 2, 3, and then nudge him under the chin. Before he has learned the technique he will toss it up as often at one, two, four, as he will at 1, 2, 3, but he needs to be drilled until he will not toss it till he hears “3.” It will make it simpler for him if you somewhat emphasize the “3” word.
In time you can use numerous combinations of numbers and he will wait until he hears the highlighted “three.” While teaching him do not make him wait too long before you say “3,” and enable him to consume the treat.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be a considerably difficult trick for your Drever to perfect and needs a lot of persistence from you. Keep in mind, do not penalize your Drever if he can’t learn the technique, rather blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, delight in teaching your Drever this trick and have lots of fun while you’re at it.
