Teach your Pug the “on trust” trick
State to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and restraining his head from swaying using 1 hand and holding up a warining finger with the other and repeating the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Pug the “paid for” trick
Next, release his head, saying “paid for,” and give him a little tap under the chin. This will trigger him to toss the snack up and capture it. Naturally, in his earlier efforts he will not be able to capture the snack, but he must be allowed to eat the treat after it lands on the floor.
It’s an excellent trick for your Pug
Constant repeating of this trick will produce efficiency. Gradually you need to stop restraining his head with your hand and permit him to stabilize the treat on his nose until you state “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the treat between his teeth and to not swallow it till informed to do so. This trick can be made more impressive by holding a discussion with your Pug. For instance, you may state: “Pal, old man, here is a very yummy treat, but it is ‘on trust.'”
Somewhat emphasize the word “trust” and then state: “I am thankful you do not like eating things on trust, however this I have just learned has actually been ‘paid for,'” stressing the words “paid for.”
Your Pug can likewise be taught to toss the treat after hearing a specific number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count plainly and intentionally, one, two, three, and then tap 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 one, two, three, but he should be drilled until he will not toss it till he hears “3.” It will make it much easier for him if you somewhat highlight the “3” word.
In time you can use lots of combinations of numbers and he will wait up until he hears the highlighted “3.” As you are teaching him don’t make him wait too long before you state “three,” and permit him to consume the treat.
“Trust” and “Paid For” may be a pretty tough trick for your Pug to learn and requires plenty of patience from you. Remember, do not penalize your Pug if he can’t master the technique, rather blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, take pleasure in teaching your Pug this trick and have lots of fun along the way.
