Teach your Papillon the “paid for” trick
Next, release his head, stating “paid for,” and give him a little tap beneath the chin. This will cause him to toss the treat up and capture it.

It’s a terrific trick for your Papillon
Constant repetition of this training will produce effectiveness. In time you ought to stop restraining his head with your hand and allow him to balance the snack on his nose up until you state “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the snack between his teeth and to not swallow it till told to do so. This technique can be made more impressive by holding a discussion with your Papillon. For example, you may state: “Pal, old boy, here is a really tasty treat, however it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly highlight the word “trust” and then say: “I am pleased you do not like consuming things on trust, but this I have just found out has been ‘paid for,'” stressing the words “paid for.”
Your Papillon can likewise be taught to toss the treat on hearing a specific number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count clearly and deliberately, one, two, three, and then touch 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 must be drilled until he will not toss it up until he hears “3.” It will make it much easier for him if you slightly emphasize the “THREE” word.
Eventually you can use many combinations of numbers and he will wait up until he hears the highlighted “three.” While training him do not make him wait too long prior to you say “three,” and permit him to consume the treat.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be a considerably challenging trick for your Papillon to master and requires a lot of patience from you. Remember, do not penalize your Papillon if he can’t learn the technique, instead blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, take pleasure in teaching your Papillon this trick and have loads of fun while you’re at it.
