To teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel tricks, even easy ones, you should provide some of his favorite snacks, be in an obscure suitable place and try to keep the coaching sessions to ten to fifteen minutes or the Pont-Audemer Spaniel will begin to get bored. Bear in mind when he gets something correct give him great deals of praise and a reward treat, however beware not to get him too ecstatic or he will lose focus.
Teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel to offer you his paw
To teach your Pont-Audemer 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. After that do it again, and after a few tries do not take his paw so quickly. State the word ‘paw’, count to one and then take it. You ought to see that he is raising his paw up as you state the word. If he does not then go back to saying it at the exact same time. Do it a couple more times then slow your response again. After a few sessions most Pont-Audemer Spaniels pick this trick up rather quickly.
Teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel to offer you a high 5
Like a lot of tricks the high 5 is a progression of an earlier trick, and in this case the paw trick. Place a treat in between your fingers and lift your hand slightly higher than you would for the paw trick. Your Pont-Audemer Spaniel will presume you desire to do the paw trick and will grab for the snack with his paw as we had instructed him previously. Once he rises you say “high five” and offer him the snack. When your Pont-Audemer Spaniel has actually mastered the paw trick this one ought to be extremely easy to master and with only a couple of sessions he will be performing it on hand signal rather than from your voice.
Teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel to jump through a hoop
Before you begin this one I would simply like to ask you to be a little reasonable and not hold the hoop too high up as you don’t want your Pont-Audemer Spaniel to hurt himself while practicing the trick. Place your Pont-Audemer Spaniel to one side of a hula hoop, get him to take note of your hand on the other side of the hoop. Hold a snack in your hand and offer the Pont-Audemer Spaniel the direction to stop sitting. In the beginning he may try to walk around or under the hoop. In the event that this takes place start again. Your Pont-Audemer Spaniel wants the snack and will quickly discover that walking around or below doesn’t work so he’ll soon start going through it. As soon as he does, say “hoop” and give him the treat. He will quickly be leaping through the hoop on the command of “hoop”. When I initially started doing this trick I owned a medium sized dog, so I began with the hoop six inches from the floor and gradually raised it to waist height. On the occasion that you possess a smaller dog you may want to start with the hoop touching the ground so he just goes through the hoop and then slowly elevate it more once he gets used to the trick.
I expect you have enjoyed these 3 tricks you can teach your Pont-Audemer Spaniel. Have patience with your Pont-Audemer Spaniel and most importantly, have fun!
