To teach your Smalandsstovare tricks, even easy ones, you need to provide some of his favorite treats, go to an obscure suitable place and maintain the instruction sessions to ten to fifteen minutes or the Smalandsstovare will start to get tired. Always remember when he gets something right give him lots of appreciation and a reward snack, just take care not to get him over fired up or he will lose concentration.
Teach your Smalandsstovare to give you his paw
To get your Smalandsstovare to give you his paw, initially get him to sit, then as you state the word ‘paw’ take his paw in your hand and give him a snack. After that repeat this, and after a couple of successful tries do not take his paw so fast. Say the word ‘paw’, count to 1 and only then take it. You ought to notice that he is bringing his paw up as you say the word. If he does not then go back to stating it at the same time. Do it a couple of more times then slow your response once again. After a couple of sessions most Smalandsstovares pick this trick up quite easily.
Teach your Smalandsstovare to give you a high five
Like a great deal of tricks the high five is a continuation of a more basic trick, and in this case it’s the paw trick. Hold a snack in your two fingers and raise your hand a little bit higher than you’d raise it for the paw trick. Your Smalandsstovare will expect you wish to perform the paw trick and will reach for the treat with his paw as we had trained him previously. While he reaches up you state “high five” and give your Smalandsstovare the treat. As soon as your Smalandsstovare has actually mastered the paw trick this 1 will most likely be really simple to master and with just a couple of sessions he will be doing it from your hand signal rather than vocal commands.
Teach your Smalandsstovare to jump through a hoop
Before you start this 1 I would simply like to ask you to be a little sensible and not suspend the hoop too high up as you don’t really want your Smalandsstovare to harm himself while doing the trick. Set your Smalandsstovare to one side of a hula hoop, get him to take notice of your hand on the other side of the hoop. Hold a snack in your hand and offer the Smalandsstovare the direction to stop sitting. At first he may attempt to walk around or below the hula hoop. In the event that this takes place begin again. Your Smalandsstovare wants the treat and will quickly learn that walking around or under doesn’t get it so he will quickly begin going through it. The moment he does, say “hoop” and offer him the snack. He’ll quickly be leaping through the hoop on the command of “hoop”. When I first started teaching this trick I had a medium sized dog, so I started with the hoop 6 inches from the floor and slowly brought it to waist high. In case you possess a smaller dog you may desire to begin with the hoop on the ground so he just goes through the hoop and after that gradually raise it more as he gets accustomed to the trick.
I really hope you have enjoyed learning these 3 tricks you can teach your Smalandsstovare. Have patience with your Smalandsstovare and most importantly, have fun!
