To teach your Posavac Hound tricks, even the easy ones, you should always have some delicious snacks, go to a quiet suitable place and manage to keep the training sessions to 10 – 15 minutes or your Posavac Hound will begin to get bored. Just remember when he gets something correct give him great deals of praise and a reward snack, just beware not to get him extremely fired up or he might possibly lose focus.
Teach your Posavac Hound to give you his paw
To get your Posavac Hound to give you his paw, first get him to sit, then as you say the word ‘paw’ take his paw in your hand and give him a treat. Next do it again, and after a few times don’t take his paw so fast. Say the word ‘paw’, count to one and then after that take it. You should discover that he is bringing his paw up as you say the word. If he doesn’t then return to saying it at the exact same time. Do it a few more times then slow your response once again. After 2 or 3 sessions most Posavac Hounds pick this trick up rather quickly.
Teach your Posavac Hound to give you a high five
Like a great deal of tricks the high five is a continuation of an easier trick, in this case the paw trick. Place a treat in your fingers and raise your hand a bit higher than you would for the paw trick. Your Posavac Hound will presume you want to do the paw trick and will reach for the treat with his paw as we had instructed him earlier. As he reaches up you say “high 5” and offer him the treat. When your Posavac Hound has mastered the paw trick this one will likely be really simple to understand and with just a few sessions he will be accomplishing it from your hand signal instead of from your voice.
Teach your Posavac Hound to jump through a hoop
Before you start this 1 I would just like to ask you to be a little sensible and not hold the hoop higher than necessary as you don’t really want your Posavac Hound to harm himself while performing the trick. Place your Posavac Hound to one side of a hula hoop, get him to pay attention to your hand on the other side of the hoop. Place a treat in your hand and offer the Posavac Hound the command to stop sitting. Initially he may attempt to walk around or underneath the hula hoop. If this happens start once again. Your Posavac Hound desires the snack and will quickly learn that walking around or beneath doesn’t get it so he’ll soon start going through it. As soon as he does, say “hoop” and give him the treat. He will soon be leaping through the hoop on the command of “hoop”. When I began doing this trick I owned a medium sized dog, so I began with the hoop 6 inches from the floor and gradually raised it to waist high. In the event that you have a smaller sized dog you might desire to begin with the hoop touching the floor so he just goes through the hoop and after that slowly elevate it more as he gets used to the trick.
I trust you have enjoyed learning these 3 tricks you can teach your Posavac Hound. Have patience with your Posavac Hound and most importantly, have a good time!
