Put Down Head

If you want to have as many cute photographs as possible with your little dog, you need to teach him this trick.

Hold out an open hand to your dog, then try to lure his head onto your head by holding a piece of something tasty on it.

Then, give it to him when he puts his head down, and choose specific word signs, such as “down” and “heard”. You can gradually increase the time during which your four-legged friend receives the treat.

Eye Contact

This is a great exercise. Your dog will try to orient itself depending on where you are, no matter the distractions.

You can start the training by sitting in front of your dog and holding a treat at eye level, closer to your head.

When your dog makes eye contact with you, say “look” and give him a treat. In time, hold the food piece increasingly further from you, then give your dog the signal and reward him right away when he looks deep into your eyes.
