She said it will take several sessions but my dog did it in seconds. I bowed in front of her and she bowed back to me, I rewarded her with a treat right away and she kept doing it over and over. I guess some dogs are just born to do tricks. She also did the roll over which I thought was impossible and not only did she do it within minutes, she did multiple rollovers. I love my baby girl to bits!!!
Sounds like a smart pup! Be sure to tag us @doggy.u on instagram to show off your trick!
My dog is only 9 weeks old and he already knows 5 tricks
That's good that your dog was able to catch on quickly, but it is just that! I am glad that you were able to use this direction to guide your dog to do what you wanted it to do but realize not all dogs are the same and learn the same just like humans! She may have been saying this to help people from getting discouraged if they didn't learn it right away. Yes, my dog learned it pretty quickly as well but not all dogs are created equal! Don't think you're a professional dog trainer just because you got your dog to do one thing! And I mean this with all sincerity because I've just had a friend that I was training his dog and I wasn't there for 2 weeks because I wasn't feeling well because I was coming off of my medicine and and that time he was able to get his dog to give him. Paul and he thought he was the best thing in the world and told me he didn't need me and left and now he has a dog. That's a nightmare! So always humble yourself like you seem to have already done!
You don't give a command ..just the clicker?
Me: looks at my dog
My dog: don't even think about it
HAHA!
Out of everything I saw I am most impressed by the way you said "Like Button" and the like button would shine RAINBOW on my screen lol
Whooaahh! Did that really happen? Because that was definitely youtube and not me, but I'm here for it!
I was trying to teach my dog to roll over but he couldn't do it. I didn't want to push him to do it cause i know that training is mostly about connecting and communicating with your dog. So i decided to try and teach him something else. I saw this video and when i started teaching him to bow he got it immediately. My point is try to make training a happy thing for your dog and if he/she doesn't get to do everything it's okay. There's still many other tricks that you can try
I love this Octi! This is exactly right! Not every trick is for every dog, or something you need to build different tricks to help the ultimate trick connect more with your dog. Have you checked out my BANG video? It may help towards your ultimate rollover progression and is a fun one to teach!
BANG video: ua-cam.com/video/ghL7Z-0kXgU/v-deo.html
Also, always make sure you're practicing rollover on a very soft surface. Rollover: ua-cam.com/video/6jD6ai5sJK4/v-deo.html
If you're having trouble teaching roll over, try doing what I did with my dogs.
Make sure your dog is comfortable being in a down position. Reward them for being there, being stable, and having you stroke them all over.
Make sure your dog is comfortable being on their side with you near. You can capture the behaviour when your dog is napping.
Then, slow down, reward tiny approximations - reward just a tiny weight shift at first. If your dog is too jumpy, if they're whining and being frustrated, try feeding them their dinner before you train. Sometimes motivation for food is a hindrance, not a help!
Hope this helps.
Wow 👍😮😮
I followed your technique for the “play dead” and I had my 3 month old mini Aussie playing dead by a week and a half. Due to crazy life stuff I haven’t been able to play dead with her for a week and she still remembers. Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Valerie - than you so much for taking the time to write this nice comment! That's wonderful about your mini aussie! Be sure to tag me on insta @doggy.u - would love to share your trick on our stores!
Love your technique and kindness to your dog
Aw! Thanks Josephine - this made my day! Thanks for watching!
Where do we get clicker from
@@Influencer7 you can get a clicker anywhere. Amazon has three packs for $5 or $6.
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
Hi Raquel! Not sure what you mean by this?
Love this--teaching a tricks class now and I came looking for videos to fix the lying-down issue as well as find a smoother process to transition to a performance cue. This video addressed both. And your training style is very parallel to my own. Totally gonna keep your channel as a reference for the tricks I have a more challenging time with:^)
I am super excited to get started with this trick :D. I am in the SCA and have always wanted to train a dog to bow to our King and Queen :D
I am going to follow you. Was looking for a tricks to teach my dog while stuck inside and chose you to watch out of all the videos that cropped up. Am I glad I did. You are easy to follow, give great explanations as to why to do what or what not to do while training, and also give us real talk such as "this isn't going to happen in one day" - that is important to hear because novice dog owners might not know that and get frustrated. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos, going to pace myself because if I watch too many tricks I won't know which one to do first!! lol..
I'm so glad you found this video helpful! I hope you enjoy some of my other step-by-step training videos and if you like tricks, check out the tricks playlist. Thanks for commenting and be sure to tag us on instagram @Doggy.U so I can share you trick training videos! Happy Training!
Great video Laura! The tip about throwing the cookie forward - perfect! I’ll have to give that a try. I always get laying down 🤔. Whip is freaking adorable!
Thank you! Try it out and see how it works out for you. The wonderful thing about trick training is there's lots of ways to teach each trick!
Thank you for the tip about throwing the food so they don't want to waste the energy laying down!! An invaluable tip
Mind blown! Definitely going to tighten up this trick with my dog. Thank you for the helpful tips! Makes for a much more solid bow.
Can't wait to see all these tricks with Des!
Thanks for this training on a graceful and crowd-pleasing trick.
You're welcome :)
I have a 9 month old kelpie pup, Daisy and shes super smart. I had her in the bow position in our first session, after i had 2 mini meltdowns. Can’t wait to keep going and getting her to do it properly. Thank you so much for making this video. I will definitely keep watching your videos.
This was brilliant! I never managed to teach my dog bow with the method I was shown and gave up trying but this method makes so much more sense. Thank you!,
I’m so glad you have another way to try! 💜
my 4 month old golden retrievr girl learnt this in no time thanks to your method ❤️ we call it the 'elegant' trick and she looks so so cute doing it 🥳
The toss away and the step by step instruction for what the trainer should do is SO helpful. Thanks
So glad you found this helpful Kristin!
Loved this, I like you not only show what you want your dog to do but also what the trainer needs to do with their body. This is so much easier than what I was trying to do.
Hi CLM! I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Be sure to check out my other trick training videos and to tag me on instagram @doggy.u to show off your trick! Happy Training!
Love the way you teach
Thanks Val! :) Thanks for watching!
Great tips, thanks so much! Really enjoying your videos! 😊
Thanks Danielle! Glad you like them!
I've just watched an assortment of teaching the bow videos; yours is the best. I'll come back when I've taught Flora the bow and we've taken note about getting that weight shift understood by the dog before the next stage.
Yay!!! Thanks Beverley! I'm so glad it's been helpful! Make sure you tag us over on Insta @doggy.u to show off your trick!
Hi! Today we practice "this bow" & your right Laura! Mr. Cooper went down inmediatly, and then he was ready to try to roll over hahaha... he was like What MG? Saludos desde Monterrey, México.
I love your method here....worked great for my cavalier puppy..... I am working now on her maintaining that position.....had to come back and check in.....got it now...
Yayyy! I'm so glad this has worked well for you! If you're in the "maintaining position" phase, be sure to feed a ton, really fast in position, one after the other and then throw forward. So it should be bow, feed, feed, feed, throw. Then slowly increase the time between feeding. Good luck and be sure to tag us on Instagram @doggy.u if you're on social media so I can see your progress! :)
great video ! love the toss tip and then how you faded the luring
Thanks Diane! Happy Training!
Wow great video, I love it. My boy is a border collie x Kelpie and so smart and super high energy. I started this trick about 15 minutes ago and he is getting it. Not completely yet but so close. Thanks for a beautiful intro to your channel. You have an amazing rapport with your girl..
Thanks Smudgey! This made my day! Keep working with your boy and check out some of my other training and trick videos for more ideas. Thanks for watching! :)
this worked so well!!! thank you!!

Such a good video! I did your “bang” video with my year old dog and he got it within 5 min! Going to do the “bow” tomorrow when I get more treats. Keep up the awesome work with your pups!
Thanks Jeanette! I'm so glad you've found my videos helpful! Be sure to tag us on instagram if you want to show off your training in our stories :) @doggy.u . Happy Training!
This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Be sure to tag us on Instagram @doggy.u when you nail this trick! :)
Love this trick!
Thanks Gina!
Took less than 5 min and I had her bowing on command.
Best part is I reward with play immediately after training sessions. I incorporated a bow before throwing her toy for her and it reinforced the new skill.
I’ll be working on a consistent cue and getting her to do it at my side as we continue to practice, but I did it in a short session and kept it fun.
I’ve never taught her this trick before, but I do narrate things when she’s doing them for her buttons, so that probably helped move THIS activity along more quickly.
Thank you for a great tutorial.
So glad you found this tutorial helpful! Definitely check out our most recent trick tutorial for a fun one: ua-cam.com/video/aaWM0SJhRWQ/v-deo.html

I'm so happy I found yours. Gonna try it. Tried a different method and they recommended putting hard under dog to keep from laying down...but my dog is 73lbs and I literslly was sweating working with him 🤣🤦🏾♀️
73 lbs is a lot of dog to hold up! I hope this method works for you! Happy Training!
Thank you for this!!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! :)
My dog finally did it! Its so cute
Yayy! congrats!
Love your presentation. If you were my daughter I'd be proud of you
Love this video. I've been trying to figure out how to get from the treat to the command tadaa. Thank you!

I just recently found your channel! I love the way you teach! Thank you so much for all the help and advice! 💗🐶
Hey Belle! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It really made my day! Be sure to tag us on instagram @doggy.u with all of your training progress! :)
I like your vedio so much!
Most of the coach teaches skills with body touches, but some of the dogs like shibainu were super sensitive and don’t like body touches. I could teach bow in 10 minutes with your guidance while I tought my dog “die” with body touch spent more than 1hour one week.
Your guidance is great indeed!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! and YES! Many dogs don't like being physically manipulated (just like humans don't like to be pushed around to do things). I'm so glad you are finding my videos helpful! :)
Love this video and LOVE your dog!! She is so focused on u I love it!! (My dog looks like her!)
Thanks Clare! I have some great puppers for sure! :)
Wow!! This worked in like 10 minutes!
So glad this worked well for you! Be sure to check out some of our other trick tutorials, like training your dog to jump over your arms: ua-cam.com/video/aaWM0SJhRWQ/v-deo.html

Amazing!
Thanks Shruti! Happy Training!
I met my new puppy a week ago and shes awesome! Soon I will start training her, when she arrives. I already have decided on the basic tricks and other ones that are showy and smart because I know what kind of dog she is. Shes bouncy and playful, but has a calmer side and I know she’ll be an excellent student. Shes a Whippet-Kelpie cross, both very different but smart breeds, so I have faith in her! I’ve learnt from many tutorials that every dog has potential and every dog will do something amazing. I’ve also learnt that your channel is amazing, by experience and the comments on this very video. I cannot express how amazed I am with your dog! I may have to start my own channel, with clips of me teaching my new Tess! Honestly, shes amazing. I just love her so much, and this would be a great way to show off her skills and to bond with her even more! Thank you so much for this video!

ua-cam.com/video/e5jv7zEv7wQ/v-deo.html
@@DoggyU Yes! We’re getting her later today and I can’t waitttt! I will check our your video!
Update: we got her yesterday and shes so amazing! I’ve already taught her to sit and to go onto her bed on command! She can be a little rough but not all the time. When I’m watching TV or something she will lay down next to me and just be calm! So her personality at the time depends on ours at the time!
This is amazing❤
Thank you for this comment 💜
I've seen many videos for this trick but I just couldn't get my puppy to do this as efficiently. Eventually I gave up last month. Randomly came across your video today and it's great. It motivated me to try this again and I will. The way you and your canine partner demonstrated this session was awesome. You explained the dos and don'ts really well. I'll surely give it a try and I already know it will work. :) thank you so much ❤🌻😇
Thanks Namz for taking the time to write out this comment. Made my day! Happy training!
@@DoggyU OMG, my puppy did it today. You had to be the first one to know ❤💓🌻. It was a bit difficult one to teach but then my dog did great with a lot of practice. He got the hang of it just last week and now he does it with just a hand gesture and a treat followed after few seconds. I'm so happy. Thank you so much. 💖💖keep doing great things with your canine partner. 😊😇
@@namzroy5130 WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!! Congratulations! ⭐️🎉🎉
I’m gonna try this with my new puppy
I made the mistake of using the leg method and my dog got very nervous. Love this method very successful and enjoyable not stressful and doesn’t make her nervous.
I'm so glad you and your pup found this helpful! Make sure to tag us on instagram @doggy.u so we can show off your success!
This is so good I haven't tried it yet but I want my dog Rosie to bow to my mom and dad I'm trying to get my dad to get me another dog and my mom doesn't like big dog but here I go!
Amazing 👍
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! :)
Thank you. This seems so easy. My dog has been taught to sit before me while waiting for a treat or what trick to do. Should I teach a stand first then work on bow?
Teaching stand first would likely make it a bit easier, but you could always just lure him into a stand then proceed with the trick. If you are working on the stand, and sitting is already very automatic for the dog, I recommend teaching front and rear foot targets. This can be helpful in teaching the concept to the dog:
Front target: ua-cam.com/video/cvg5xe1zyEo/v-deo.html
Rear target: ua-cam.com/video/_DsAH1JQJ_8/v-deo.html
Thanks so much! I want to make sure I’m as hands off as possible when training my dog and this was the perfect method! I especially liked throwing the food infront of him to prevent his back legs from going down. That was clever. He learned to bow perfectly in like 2 days! Very impressive and easy method!
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and were able to train your pup with it! Thanks for taking the time to comment and enjoy our other training videos!
Mine learned "lay down" first, so this created much problems for me as she immediately lays down when I lower the treat down😂
My dog now knows how to bow! Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful! Be sure to tag @doggy.u on instagram so we can show off your hard work! Happy Training!
amazing koolie
She's a good girlie!
This is awesome, I've been looking for something like this. Thank you so much! But I will say, you totally missed out on your video outro being a bow to the camera lol
Haha great suggestion! My more recent videos have better editing ;)
This is great! I’m so glad I found your channel. How would you cue this same bowing trick for a yoga pose? Same motion from your dog just a different cue from you. I’m basically looking at puppy pose posture. Then I guess they would hold it longer. Thanks!
Hey Jenny! So probably the easiest way to do this is put it on a straight verbal cue, then transfer the cue to the body cue you are looking to use. You'll need a strong behavior and cue relationship before you get started. You can learn about transferring a cue/adding a cue in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZyCT17pJJDA/v-deo.html
Honestly speaking, my dog is small in size & she very well understands how to do tricks like jump over things, rollover, laydown, paw, sit, but she was having trouble doing this one.
i think i might start doing this trick at a stage where she learned other tricks, like this one.
The way you train your dog is very good & kind, but my dog doesn't pay attention to my form or anything at all, except for the treat, that's where her downfall is.
if you have a method on getting more of the dog's attention i would really appreciate it.
thank you :]

What kind is she? So pretty 😁
My dog picked this up in a matter of minutes great technique getting them to lean back
Thanks Concrete Comrade! So glad you found the video useful!
My new pup is hopefully going to be a service dog and I’m going to be using the bow as a way to have her say thank you, cute and fun for her and the people I’m interacting with. eg: someone helps me up when I fall, I thank them, I tell the pup to thank them and they bow
Sounds like a fun trick to teach for that! Love it!

that's a good trick! i got my first dog its a husky and im very happy with it. i taught all basic obedience in 2 weeks with no experience at all she is amazing.
but what's with the clicker i dont use that i make a sound with my tounge to be able to use both hands..
Nice! Yes, using a tongue click can work great as a reward marker and keep your hands free!
I loved this vdeio

Welcome to my channel and thanks for watching! :)
Thank you so much for this video it took my dog about two training sessions and she’s pretty much got it. How did you get your dog to walk between your legs?
Thanks Jack! I'll add "middle" to my video list. That being said, I have so many to make, so if you're looking for answers more quickly, consider joining our patreon and asking there where I can address the question right away :) patreon.com/doggyu
My sister was training my dog, and I started to look for dog trick videos, and this one really caught my eye. : )
Glad you enjoyed it! I have lots of trick videos if you're looking for some fun things to teach your dog!
DoggyU? I think my dog’s snout is too short. By the way, he is a boxer/ bulldog mix
@@sophic2355 why do you say his snout is too short? Do you mean to train this trick? Snout length shouldn't have an effect on his ability to bow. Maybe take it slower and reward for smaller steps?
I can’t push down diagonally
@@sophic2355 Try using chicken or something that you can hold while your dog nibbles. Also, your criteria might be too high. Remember that to start, we're just looking for a tiny weight shift backwards.
Hi! I love your vids! Do you have any tips for the first step of this lure when a pup has a tendency to just back track instead of leaning back on their hind legs? Thanks!
Hi Holly! Thanks for the kind words!
So if the dog is walking backwards, a couple things can help. First, reward before you think you need to. Most people ask too much of the dog too soon. Reward for even the slightest weight shift back. The other thing is to use a pedestal or ottoman to start the trick on. This makes it so the dog can't move backwards. Hope that helps!
How would you recommend starting to introduce the cue where you do just the bowing motion with your own body without the outstretched hand part? Currently my dog only understands to do her bow when I push my hand diagonally down to her face. Love the vid btw!! ❤
Hi Alyssa! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! So what you're looking to do is essentially a cue transfer. You may need to start with getting more repetitions of the behavior in with the current cue until it's really solid, then you'll want to just bend over, wait a moment, and then present your hand push, mark and reward. You repeat this until as soon as you start bending, your dog anticipates the hand push and does the bow on the bend. You can learn more about adding cues here: ua-cam.com/video/ZyCT17pJJDA/v-deo.html
Hope that helps!
My dog just steps backward, he doesn't shift. Is there anyway to prevent this?
Hi Em- a couple ideas. One, you may be asking too much. We're looking for a tiny weight shift so if they are stepping back, you've missed the weight shift and should click earlier. Another thing that can be helpful is to put them on a pedestal so stepping back isn't an option. Alternatively, you can have them practice with their back end close to a wall so there's no place to step. Hope that helps!
I made a ton of progress by getting my dog to do it while on the couch, facing me (standing in front of the couch). My dog was backing up on the floor but couldn't on the couch. Once we got the pattern down, we moved back to the floor and were way more successful.
@@KatlynEdwards0 great tip!
My dog just sits right as she sees teats 😟
I had to teach my dog stand first
Do you have a capture it video for teaching a bow? Thanks!
I don't have one of teaching bow, but I do have a video on how to capture behavior which would be applicable to any behavior that your dog does naturally: ua-cam.com/video/mSfD1HLlM9Q/v-deo.html
That looks like a good form of exercise. Your dog😂 has you well trained.😅
Incredibly well-trained ;)
At what part of the training do I introduce the command word?
Once you have the behavior on physical cue. This video can help with understanding when to add a verbal cue: ua-cam.com/video/ZyCT17pJJDA/v-deo.html
Hi there, really liked your video , especially because you weren’t talking so fast when people watch these videos they’re jotting down little hints and tips and when the person is talking so fast it’s kind of hard to do both if you’re ever rewinding the video to hear what the person is saying and writing down what you need. Anyways constantly giving the dog treats will they eventually do it without the treat and will they understand what they’re doing when you give them a command like bow I didn’t hear you say too many times bow, so I am wondering will the dog know what it’s doing will it know what it’s being asked to do And will it know what it’s being asked to do if it doesn’t get a treat? Thank you for your video and thank you in advance for your reply😊
Hi Edith! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! As far as using food rewards, you can eventually wean them off this reward in favor of other reinforcers, but I tend to reward heavily and for a long time for newly acquired skills. As for adding cues, I have put a video you might find helpful down below:
Adding a Cue: ua-cam.com/video/ZyCT17pJJDA/v-deo.html
i taught my gsd how to spin in less than 15 min, its insane how quick she learned
It's a team effort! (also dogs are so much smarter than we give them credit for!)
I’m just going to say if you are using hardwood or tile floor and they keep sitting or laying down try to move to a carpet it worked for my dog😁
Great tip! Yes, non-slip flooring is always important!
What would be the best treats to use for training.
Hey Debbie! I actually have a whole video on my favorite treats and how to make a trail mix. You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/Z8SQno1Qm4w/v-deo.html
My dog when I try either sits or uses her paws to take the treat out of my hand could u maybe tell me a tip or something
what is the clicker for?? is it just another way of teaching them and getting them to remember ? should i get one of those instead of just treats??
Hi Grace! Here's a video that will help explain why I use a clicker and how to use it effectively to train and mark behavior: ua-cam.com/video/RYsD9US01js/v-deo.html
what do i do if my dog keeps laying down? she does well with the slight weight shift but when i slowly move down she lays down.
It is a great video and I was very excited to try but My dog just doesn’t get this one at all. He has gotten other things like shake in just one or two tries. I push in diagonally towards the ground but it doesn’t get him any closer to shifting his weight or putting elbows down he just uses his head and even paws at the food with his front two paws
Try using your legs up like a bridge and luring him under your legs slightly. You can see it done in my down video for use in a down, but instead you would just reward the head bowing behavior: ua-cam.com/video/JZ9qmarlyyA/v-deo.html
I would love it if you would teach us to teach the dog to stretch. It would come in very handy on long plane rides between flights.
That sounds like a great behavior to capture when the dog is doing it. Alternatively, just take a cookie and help them stretch, though just like humans, dogs will generally just stretch when they feel the need to :)
Is black dog good for home?
My dog won't go down at all. She just backs up and is so stiff. She isn't responding to the downward angle. I've put my hand at different angles and each time she just backs up and doesn't attempt to stretch. Tried against the wall.. haha help! Any other suggestions for getting started? Thanks so much!
My pup seems to require the invisible treat in order to do the trick. Could you speak a little more on how to transition away from any lure at all?
Hi Aaron - so to transition off a lure you should do two reps with the lure, one rep where you get your "ghost cookie" ie. go into your treat bag, pretend to get the treat but don't, then do the same lure gesture, when the dog does it, click treat. Repeat alternating between cookie and no cookie in hand until the reward comes after the click. Hope that helps!
Great video. What breed is your dog? She looks so much like mine and I am not sure what he is?
CoolWhip is an Australian Koolie. They are a pretty rare breed in the US (only a few breeders) and are often mistaken for other herding breeds like border collies, aussies and heelers. DNA test sounds like a good choice so you can find out what your pup is! :)
I’m late here but having trouble at the very start. My dog isn’t naturally shifting her weight back- she either steps back or just crunches herself down. Tried rewarding for very small movements but am not seeing progress towards her shifting back more. Any ideas?
Okay so I dont have a dog clicker, so could I use a pen that clicks?
Hi Katie - A clicker is not a requirement. Use the marker word "yes" as an alternative. But mechanics matter. Check out my video on mechanics related to marker words and substitute yes for the click: ua-cam.com/video/RYsD9US01js/v-deo.html
Can you use this to train them copy you doing yoga? (Downward dog)
You could train this trick, and then transfer the old cue to the new cue of you doing downward dog as the new cue for this behavior. Check out my video on adding a cue to behavior for more info on adding a cue. ua-cam.com/video/mwHYFnWY2rg/v-deo.html
what an attentive dog, I don't know exactly what breed but she looks like a high energy breed and it's so impressive to get a high energy dog sitting and watching for a command like that
Hi AJ! Thank you! The black one is an australian cattledog mix and the merle dog is a german coolie. Both are high energy for sure!
Yeah. I have a very energetic dog: Black lab- border collie mix. She is very hard to train. It is very impressive what her dog can do.
Hi! Just found your channel! Love it! Was so excited to teach bow!! BUT realized how FREAKIN’ fast my dog lays down! (It is her main position, first learned as a puppy)
My brain cannot even process throw the treat before she is down! HELP!
One thing you can do is use two stable platforms and have their front feet on one, and their back feet on another. This makes them less likely to lie down and gives you more chance to throw. Just make sure everything is non-slip and stable.
Also, glad you're enjoying the channel! :)
Thank you! Will give it a try!

Are there any tips on how to teach the weight shift to a dog that just refuses to shift :D I have a small dog (Yorkshire terrier) that absolutely refuses to go down or shift the weight. I've tried wall behind her as well as having her on a platform. She tries to put her head down to get the treat and when that alone isn't enough, she just lifts her head and stands watching away from the treat. I've been trying several treats as well as made sure she'd be hungry and eager to work for food but I've had no success. So please, if there's any more tips and tricks (other than the ones mentioned in the video), that would be highly appreciated :) Also, my dog is only 7month and knows her basics (sit, lay, roll, stay, leave it, side (she comes sit on my side), touch, kiss and asking permission by sitting and looking to my eyes), but no more. Could this easy-looking trick be too hard for her? Thanks for your help! I love the way you teach and especially how you talk to your dogs!
Hi Mari! While the trick may not be too "hard" it may be that your pup needs to learn a little more about how they move their body (proprioception) before coming back to this one. I would recommend checking out a couple of these videos and teaching her a front foot target, rear foot target, and spin, and then maybe come back to this trick. Sometimes it's more about the dogs figuring out the use of their body than necessarily the way you're presenting the trick. Whenever I'm struggling with something I always try something similar, and then come back to it.

I love you
They are obedient
When my dog lays dog he puts his butt down first.😂 But we are having progress!
Same
my dog holly knows so many tricks that she thinks in order to get a treat, she needs to do a trick. recently ive taught her to play dead with the verbal command “bang” and the physical command of finger guns, so she thinks that whenever I get the treats out she has to play dead. when I tried to get her to learn this, she just sat in front of me so I had to teach her to stand, but whenever I needed her to stand she would roll over and play dead haha! anybody else have this issue?
Not with play dead, but with sitting. My dog automatically sits when treats are pulled out, and I can’t get her to stand up
How would you train them with verbal cues? Like if want to my dog to bow after I ask “Am I your Queen?” Or something like that?
Hi Be Kind! I actually have a video for that ;) ua-cam.com/video/ZyCT17pJJDA/v-deo.html
Hm I tried it with my Bernese Mountain dog, but he doesnt really understand the initial weight shift.. any advice?
Hey Femsky? Does your dog already know how to follow a lure? If not, consider teaching tricks like leg weaves or spin first, and then come back to this trick. When luring the dog, be sure to push diagonally back and down, like you're kind of trying to shove the treat in his mouth. Reward for any slight muscle movement to start. Happy Training!
Hi, my dog just keeps laying down. I always have to hold her belly up. How do I lure her down but not all the way? I tried to go backward but she just lay dow anyway.
It sounds like you need to notice and mark just the tiniest shift in muscles. If she's laying down you've lured too far. Watch your dog and even if she moves back half a centimeter to start, mark and throw the food forward. Break it down into smaller pieces for her. Happy Training!
I have a question... my dog shifted his weight back and down as I pushed at a diagonal at first but now he just turns his head to get the treat as I push down. Might you have a suggestion to solve this problem?
Hey Susie! Hard to know what to do without seeing it. It sounds like I would take something more moist and that can be licked out of the hand and make sure I'm pushing directly diagonal so that tilting isn't possible. I'd also maybe click sooner at just the slightest weight shift. It sounds like your dog might not know what you were clicking for at first. But, without seeing it, I'm not exactly sure how to help! I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I’ve been working on this since this morning. But every time I call my dog over to work with her she sits. How can I encourage her to stay standing so I can move forward with teaching her to bow?
Your treat is likely being held too high above her head. If she's sitting, try taking the treat, putting it on her nose and then drawing it towards her chin/throat. This will cause her to stand, click and reward. It is helpful to first teach a stand cue if your dog doesn't already know a stand. hope that helps!
