This trick looks very intense and is indeed an expert example of teamwork; a walking handler is joined by a keen dog weaving through his masters legs.
- Have your dog on your left hand side, show him a treat in your right hand then lift your right leg for him to go through and fetch the treat.
- As he goes through your leg reinforce the action with your normal reinforcement method (voice or clicker)
- Take another step forward and lure your dog back through you left leg with another treat in your left hand
- Continue this while walking.
- Add the command and gently reduce the treats.
Top tip; Begin slowly and build up to walking normally to build the confidence of your dog.
Dog trainers love this trick because it looks so smooth and easy when perfected.
