Nudge Nose

This dog trick is probably one of the cutest: having your dog poke your nose with his nose without slobbering on you.

If you want to teach it, here’s what you need to know: Gently approach your dog from above with your face while holding a treat up to your nose.

Your dog might want it, so when he touches your nose with his, give him a piece of candy. After a little while, lure your furry pet to your nose with an empty hand. If he rushes to touch it, use a signal word, such as “nudge” or “nose”.

Every time he touches your nose, praise him. Reduce the hand signals, then give your dog his treat when he nudges your nose.
