Dog tricks.

Army crawling is a fun trick to teach to your dog that helps him improve his physical fitness. Some dogs will begin to crawl without training when attempting to sneak onto the couch or hoover up crumbs from the carpet. Start by commanding your dog to lie down. Hold a treat firmly between your fingers so that your dog can smell and lick the treat but cannot take it from your hand. Hold the treat in front of your dog’s nose, and slowly drag it along the floor. As soon as your dog crawls just a few feet, praise him, and give him the treat. If the dog stands up to take the treat, quickly take it away, and start again from the beginning. Try to get your dog to crawl for a slightly longer distance each time. Once he has mastered the trick, command your dog to lie down when he is at least 10 – 15 feet away, and then get him to crawl towards you. read more tricks at http://www.dognotebook.com/20-unusual-tricks-you-should-start-teaching-your-dog-today/2/
