It’s an excellent trick for your Lhasa Apso
Constant repeating of this training will produce effectiveness. Gradually you ought to stop restraining his head with your hand and enable him to balance the snack on his nose until you state “Paid for.”
He can likewise be taught to hold the treat between his teeth and to not swallow it till told to do so. This technique can be made more remarkable by holding a conversation with your Lhasa Apso. For example, you might state: “Friend, old man, here is a really tasty snack, however it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly stress the word “trust” and after that state: “I am delighted you dislike eating things on trust, however this I have actually just learned has been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Lhasa Apso can likewise be taught to toss the snack on hearing a particular number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count plainly and intentionally, one, two, three, and then nudge him under the chin. Before he has actually learned the technique he will toss it up as frequently at 1, 2, 4, as he will at 1, 2, 3, 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 highlight the “3” word.
In time you can use many 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 before you say “three,” and allow him to eat the treat.

Remember, do not penalize your Lhasa Apso if he can’t perfect the technique, instead blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, enjoy teaching your Lhasa Apso this trick and have loads of fun while you’re at it.
