“On Trust” and “Paid For” for is one of the earliest dog tricks that has been providing as much fun as anything a dog can do since the early 1900s. It’s a great trick to teach your Chinook. It is not the easiest technique to be learned however it can be elaborated on and delivered in a number of different forms to impress many people.
To teach your Chinook this trick, call him to you, permitting him to stand up or take a seat, as he desires, and hold his head stable with one hand, while you hold a treat on his nose.
Teach your Chinook the “on trust” trick
Say to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and restraining his head from swaying with one hand while holding up a warining finger with the other and repeating the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Chinook the “paid for” trick
Next, release his head, stating “paid for,” and give him a little nudge under the chin. This will trigger him to toss the snack up and catch it. Naturally, in his earlier attempts he won’t be able to catch the snack, but he should be enabled to eat the treat after it lands on the floor.
It’s a terrific trick for your Chinook
Constant repetition of this trick will produce efficiency. With time you must stop restraining his head with your hand and permit him to balance the snack on his nose till you say “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 Chinook. For example, you may state: “Buddy, old man, here is a very tasty treat, however it is ‘on trust.'”
Slightly highlight the word “trust” and after that state: “I am thankful you dislike eating things on trust, but this I have actually just learned has been ‘paid for,'” emphasizing the words “paid for.”
Your Chinook can also be taught to toss the treat after hearing a particular number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count clearly and deliberately, one, two, three, 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 1, 2, 3, however he must be drilled until he will not toss it till he hears “3.” It will make it simpler for him if you slightly emphasize the “3” word.
Eventually you can use numerous combinations of numbers and he will wait until he hears the highlighted “3.” As you are training him don’t make him wait too long before you say “3,” and allow him to eat the snack.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be remarkably tough trick for your Chinook to learn and needs lots of perseverance from you. Keep in mind, do not penalize your Chinook if he can’t perfect the technique, rather blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, enjoy teaching your Chinook this trick and have loads of fun while you’re at it.
