This trick is fun and consists of your dog spinning quickly in a continuous circle on all four feet until released from the trick.
- Use the target stick to encourage your dog to turn a circle then reinforce and reward.
- Add the command word and practice until your dog turns quickly to it then withhold reinforcement after the first loop until he completes a second one.
- Extend on this until your dog offers multiple loops on command before being reinforced and rewarded.
- Practice to improve neatness and speed of the trick.
Top tip; if your dog lacks confidence to complete a full second loop during the training of this trick help him along by reinforcing a half loop, he will soon get the idea.
Dog trainers love this trick because it uses up canine energy and looks fantastic.
