The Treats
One of the most important parts of training a dog tricks is treats. By giving them treats when they perform the trick, you are rewarding their behavior and positive reinforcement works much better than negative reinforcement – according to studies. Be sure to give less and less treats as they learn the trick though, so they will obey without food.

Training The Dog
1. The most important thing is repetition. If you are teaching your dog to sit, then you need to be consistent so that they will understand what they are supposed to do through the process of learned behavior.

2. The other important part of how to train a dog tricks is to keep going through the process every day. Training on a regular basis will stay with the dog and ensure that they learn the trick quicker.

3. Clickers can be your best friend when training a dog. Dogs process information heavily by their ears, and by using a clicker you can take advantage of that. The clicker should be your main tool in teaching the dog a new trick.

4. Always use verbal and even physical commands (pushing the dog’s behind down when you want them to sit). Dogs associate well with words and hand motions for actions, so this will make the process easier.

Remember, do not use negative reinforcement when you are training a dog. It is important when you are learning how to train a dog tricks that you use positive reinforcement.

This video shows some of the tricks I have been working on recently with Kiko and Splash. Some of the more interesting ones are, teaching Splash to look left and look right, teaching her how to skip, and how to shuffle backwards in a bow. Kiko started offering a tap dancing behavior which I captured, as well as scratching with her back feet. I also taught Kiko to go between Splashes legs as I saw a Boston Terrier do in the movie Hotel for Dogs, and thought it would be very cute to teach. Splash however, looks stressed as you can see, when kiko works too closely around her, because Kiko usually will boss Splash around if she is too close to her. All these tricks were taught using clicker training and no forms of positive punishment (meaning me saying No! or eh eh! Wrong! Or any physical manipulation)

Question by Chenai: What are good toys for a big dog?
I’m getting really tired of buying .00 “tiger tested” toys and having him destroy them in a day. He destroys EVERYTHING we buy him. Dollar store toys, expensive toys meant to last, ropes, bones… You name it, he’s destroyed it.
He’s an 8 month old presa canario/english staffordshire cross.
He always needs to chew on things, and he doesn’t just chew for fun.
He nips and chews until it’s completely demolished.
I need a few great toys that he wont rip apart so quickly. Even if it’s not a traditional dog toy, but works for big dogs to play with, please suggest it.
Thank you so much in advance.
I’ve had dogs before (thanks Animal lover), but i’ve never had a dog that destroys toys as fast as he does. I’m not a nitwit, thank you very much. =)
Also, he cant have bones because he eats them too fast and throws up. He’s still a puppy and gets over excited about things haha.
