Training your dog to perform exotic tricks

 Training your dog to perform exotic tricks can be a fun way to impress your friends and family 

while providing mental stimulation for your furry friend. Here are three exotic tricks you can teach your dog:

1. Spin or Twirl:

• Start with your dog standing in front of you.
• Hold a treat in your hand and guide your dog's nose in a circular motion, encouraging them to follow the treat.
• As they complete a full circle, say "spin" or "twirl" and reward them with the treat.
• Practice this motion regularly, gradually phasing out the treat lure until your dog can spin on command.

2. Play Dead:

• Begin with your dog in a lying-down position.
• Hold a treat in your hand and let them smell it.
• Slowly move the treat towards their nose and then back over their head, encouraging them to roll onto their side.
• As soon as they are lying on their side, say "play dead" or "bang" and reward them with the treat.
• Practice this trick regularly, gradually reducing the need for the treat lure until your dog can play dead on command.

3. Bow:

• Start with your dog standing in front of you.
• Hold a treat in your hand and let them smell it.
• Slowly move the treat towards the ground between their front paws, encouraging them to lower their head and chest.
• As soon as they bow their head and chest towards the ground, say "bow" and reward them with the treat.
• Practice this trick regularly, gradually reducing the need for the treat lure until your dog can bow on command.

Remember to use positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency when training your dog to perform exotic tricks. Break each trick down into small steps and reward your dog for their progress along the way. With time and practice, your dog will be wowing audiences with their exotic tricks in no time!
