Teach your Miniature Schnauzer the “on trust” trick

Teach your Miniature Schnauzer the “paid for” trick
Next, release his head, stating “paid for,” and give him a little tap beneath the chin. This will trigger him to toss the treat up and capture it. Naturally, in his first attempts he won’t have the ability to catch the snack, but he should be enabled to eat the treat after it hits the ground.
It’s a great trick for your Miniature Schnauzer
Constant repetition of this training will produce effectiveness. In time you should stop limiting his head with your hand and permit him to stabilize the snack on his nose till you state “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the snack between his teeth and to not swallow it until told to do so. This trick can be made more remarkable by holding a discussion with your Miniature Schnauzer. For instance, you may state: “Buddy, old boy, here is a really yummy snack, but it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly stress the word “trust” and after that say: “I am happy you do not like consuming things on trust, however this I have just discovered has been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Miniature Schnauzer 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 clearly and deliberately, 1, 2, 3, and after that nudge 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 needs to be drilled until he will not toss it up until he hears “3.” It will make it easier for him if you somewhat stress the “THREE” word.
In time you can use many combinations of numbers and he will wait up until he hears the highlighted “3.” As you are training him don’t make him wait too long before you say “3,” and permit him to eat the snack.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be a considerably challenging trick for your Miniature Schnauzer to perfect and requires plenty of perseverance from you. Remember, do not punish your Miniature Schnauzer if he can’t learn the trick, instead blame yourself for being a lousy teacher.:–RRB- In any case, take pleasure in teaching your Miniature Schnauzer this trick and have loads of fun while you’re at it.
