“On Trust” and “Paid For” for is among the oldest dog tricks that has been providing as much amusement as anything a dog can possibly do since the early 1900s. It is an excellent trick to teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel. It isn’t the easiest technique to be learned however it can be elaborated upon and presented in several various forms to impress many people.
To teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel this trick, call him to you, enabling him to stand up or sit down, as he wishes, and hold his head stable with one hand, while you balance a treat on his nose.
Teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel the “on trust” trick
Say to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and limiting his head from shifting with 1 hand and holding up a warining finger with the other and repeating the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel the “paid for” trick
Next, let go of his head, saying “paid for,” and give him a little tap beneath the chin. This will cause him to toss the snack up and capture it. Of course, in his first attempts he will not be able to capture the treat, but he should be allowed to consume the snack after it hits the floor.
It’s a great trick for your Pont-Audemer Spaniel
Constant repetition of this training will produce efficiency. Gradually you must stop restraining his head with your hand and permit him to stabilize the snack on his nose until you say “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the snack in between his teeth and to not swallow it up until informed to do so. This technique can be made more impressive by holding a discussion with your Pont-Audemer Spaniel. For instance, you may say: “Pal, old boy, here is a really delicious treat, however it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly emphasize the word “trust” and then say: “I am grateful you dislike eating things on trust, but this I have actually just discovered has been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Pont-Audemer Spaniel can also be taught to toss the snack upon hearing a certain number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count clearly and intentionally, 1, 2, 3, and after that nudge him under the chin. Before he has learned the technique he will toss it up as often at 1, 2, 4, as he will at one, two, three, but he must be drilled up until he will not toss it up until he hears “three.” It will make it much easier for him if you somewhat emphasize the “THREE” word.
Eventually you can use many combinations of numbers and he will wait until he hears the stressed “three.” While training him do not make him wait too long prior to you state “3,” and permit him to eat the snack.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be a pretty difficult trick for your Pont-Audemer Spaniel to master and requires lots of patience from you. Remember, do not penalize your Pont-Audemer Spaniel if he can’t learn the trick, rather blame yourself for being a lousy teacher.:–RRB- In any case, take pleasure in teaching your Pont-Audemer Spaniel this trick and have loads of fun along the way.
