“On Trust” and “Paid For” for is one of the oldest dog tricks that has been providing as much amusement as anything a dog can do since the early 1900s. It’s a terrific trick to teach your Leonberger. It is not the simplest technique to be taught however it can be elaborated upon and delivered in several various ways to impress the majority of people.
To teach your Leonberger this trick, call your dog to you, allowing him to stand up or take a seat, as he needs, and hold his head still with one hand, while you stabilize a treat on his nose.
Teach your Leonberger the “on trust” trick
Say to him, “On trust, on trust,” steadying and preventing his head from moving with one hand and holding up a warining finger with the other and reciting the words, “On trust, on trust”.
Teach your Leonberger 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 have the ability to catch the snack, but he should be permitted to eat the treat after it hits the floor.
It’s a great trick for your Leonberger
Constant repeating of this trick will produce efficiency. With time you ought to stop limiting his head with your hand and permit him to balance the snack on his nose until you say “Paid for.”
He can also be taught to hold the snack between his teeth and to not swallow it until informed to do so. This trick can be made more remarkable by holding a discussion with your Leonberger. For instance, you may say: “Pal, old man, here is a really tasty treat, but it is ‘on trust.'”
Somewhat emphasize the word “trust” and after that say: “I am happy 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 Leonberger can also be taught to toss the treat after hearing a certain 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 touch him under the chin. Before he has learned the trick he will toss it up as often at one, two, four, as he will at one, two, three, however he needs to be drilled up until he will not toss it until he hears “three.” It will make it simpler for him if you slightly highlight the “THREE” word.
After a while you can utilize lots of combinations of numbers and he will wait till he hears the stressed “3.” As you are teaching him do not make him wait too long before you say “3,” and allow him to eat the treat.
“Trust” and “Paid For” might be a pretty hard trick for your Leonberger to master and needs lots of patience from you. Remember, do not punish your Leonberger if he can’t learn the technique, rather blame yourself for being a poor teacher.:–RRB- In any case, enjoy teaching your Leonberger this trick and have great deals of fun along the way.
