To teach your Russian Spaniel tricks, even easy ones, you should have in hand some savory snacks, go to an obscure suitable place and manage to keep the coaching sessions to 10 – 15 minutes or the Russian Spaniel will begin to get bored. Always remember when he gets something correct give him lots of praise and a reward snack, but beware not to get him over ecstatic or he may possibly lose concentration.
Teach your Russian Spaniel to offer you his paw
To train your Russian Spaniel to give you his paw, first get him to sit, then as you state the word ‘paw’ take his paw in your hand and offer him a snack. Next repeat this, and after a couple of times do not take his paw so quickly. Say the word ‘paw’, count to 1 and only then take it. You ought to discover that he is bringing his paw up as you state the word. If he doesn’t then return to stating it at the same time. Do it a couple more times then slow your response again. After a few sessions most Russian Spaniels pick this trick up quite quickly.
Teach your Russian Spaniel to give you a high five
Like a great deal of tricks the high five is a progression of a more basic trick, in this case the paw trick. Place a snack in your fingers and raise your hand slightly higher than you’d do for the paw trick. Your Russian Spaniel will think you wish to do the paw trick and will grab the snack with his paw as we instructed him earlier. Once he reaches up you say “high 5” and give your Russian Spaniel the treat. When your Russian Spaniel has actually mastered the paw trick this 1 ought to be really simple to understand and with only a few sessions he will be accomplishing it from your hand signal rather than from your voice.
Teach your Russian Spaniel to jump through a hoop
Before you start this 1 I would just like to ask you to be a little practical and not suspend the hoop too high as you do not really want your Russian Spaniel to harm himself while practicing the trick. Set your Russian Spaniel on 1 side of a hula hoop, get him to take notice of your hand on the opposite side of the hoop. Place a treat in your hand and give the Russian Spaniel the command to stop sitting. Initially he might try to go around or under the hula hoop. In the event that this takes place start again. Your Russian Spaniel desires the snack and will soon learn that walking around or below does not get it so he will soon begin going through it. When he does, say “hoop” and offer him the treat. He’ll quickly be leaping through the hoop on the command of “hoop”. When I initially started doing this trick I had a medium sized dog, so I started with the hoop 6 inches from the ground and slowly increased it to waist high. In the case that you own a smaller dog you might desire to start with the hoop touching the ground so he just goes through the hoop and after that gradually elevate it once he gets used to the trick.
I expect you have enjoyed learning these 3 tricks you can teach your Russian Spaniel. Have patience with your Russian Spaniel and most importantly, have a good time!
