Excellent Dog Tricks
Tricks are the best way to start introducing your pet to obedience
lessons. Everyone adores a dog that can easily perform awesome
tricks but the final goal is to have well-trained obedient dog that
listens to his owner and considers him to be the only one leader. If
you are tired of behavioral problems with your dog probably the
reason is that your dog doesn't get enough attention from you. You
should understand that all behavioral problems rise from
inconsistent dog training or even absence of such.
Trick training sessions shouldn't
be long and remember patience is what you will definitely need. If
there are reasons not to start trick training you'd better to
postpone it, e.g if either you or the dog are having a bad day, if
the weather is not good. Your dog should associate trick training as
something pleasant and enjoyable.
1. Useful obedience tricks
Obedience tricks are inalienable part of every dog ownership. Obedient
dogs always listen to their owners and fully respect them and,
therefore, dogs of the kind are easy to handle. Teaching your dog obedience tricks
should not be boring for anyone. You may do teaching with the help of a game. Your dog will
be able to learn and play together with his owner. It is a happiness
for a pet. Many games can help to teach a dog to sit, stay, lay down
and heel. Reward your dog with treats he likes but also keep your
dog in firm control. Your dog must always remember who is the leader
of a pack. General rule is: be loving and strict owner at the same
time during obedience exercises.
2. Good practical tricks
Don't let your dog be just a doormat, train him properly. Your
Bullmastiff is definitely smart and able to perform lots of
practical tasks. Your dog may love to play a game of fetch, which can lead into the
practical application of retrieval of any number of desired objects.
It would be nice if your dog brings your slippers and the newspaper
it also counts as practical trick training.
3. The best cute tricks
When you finish teaching your dog basic obedience skills, it is time
to introduce endearing tricks such as roll over, give kisses and stand up. Bullmastiffs
can do pretty good with cute tricks, do not give up if something
goes not the way you planned, patience is what you need now. Every
dog has its own personality. We also recommend to introduce cute
tricks gradually one at a time, not all at once. Reward your dog
when he succeeds and use a firm, loving hand when it does not obey.
4. Cool athletic tricks
Athletic trick training is perfect for such a large and energetic
breed as Bullmastiff. Athletic tricks is fun for both a pet and an
owner. Start with agility training
with a few obstacles. You can set up some jumps, bridges
and tunnels for your dog and encourage him to accomplish these
obstacles. Agility equipment can be made or purchased.
