Halloween Dog Tricks for Treats!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s spooky season, so get the whole family in the spirit<\/em> this Halloween and include your blood<\/em> hound in the fun! Learning tricks with your dog is a great way to play with them and build a strong bond \u2013 <\/strong>plus you can impress your friends with how clever your dog is! So get your treats<\/em> at the ready, here are four ghoulish tricks<\/em> to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGetting Started <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u201cTeaching your dog tricks is a great way to train them and keep them mentally stimulated. It\u2019s also a wonderful bonding experience for the two of you. Be prepared with some high value treats, such as Arden Grange Tasty Liver Treat or Crunchy Bites<\/strong>, to keep your dog\u2019s attention. Every dog is different, (some dogs will get it quicker than others). The key ingredient to the perfect trick is patience! Remember: command, praise, repeat<\/strong> and have fun!\u201d explains Gill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI\u2019VE SEEN A GHOST\/HIDE YOUR EYES<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Step-3-Hide-your-eyes-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 1<\/strong> \u2013 With your dog in a sitting position, gently lift one paw with your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2<\/strong> – Offer Tasty Liver Treat as you gently bring the paw above the dog\u2019s nose. Encourage the dog to follow the treat and give praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/strong> – Bring the paw over the nose and offer the treat from underneath the dog’s paw. Command ‘COVER’, treat and reward. Practice in short periods, until you no longer need to lift the dog\u2019s paw.<\/p>\n\n\n\nZOMBIE CRAWL<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nStep 1<\/strong> – Start with your dog in a DOWN position (lying down, tummy on floor) and get your treats ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2<\/strong> – Gently place your hand on your dog\u2019s back to encourage them to keep shoulders and hips down as they move.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd Step 3<\/strong> – Hold treat in front of their nose to coax dog forward. Command ‘CRAWL’ and move the treat only slightly forward so the dog follows. Keep hand gently placed on their back. Praise and Reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 4<\/strong> \u2013 Repeat Steps 2-3 and build up confidence and strength slowly. Practice until you can remove your hand from the dog\u2019s back. Be patient, this takes time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Step-4-Zombie-crawl.jpg-1024x576.jpg\")

Praise and reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/strong> – Repeat, praise, reward until your dog rolls over without contact (just the command \u2018FLAT\u2019 and appropriate hand gesture). You can then introduce a ‘STAY’ command to keep them in position and refine the pose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Play-Dead-Sham-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTHRILLER \/ SIT UP, SAY PLEASE<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nStep 1<\/strong> – Start with your dog in a sitting position. Hold the treat between thumb and middle finger whilst using index finger to point up, above the dog\u2019s nose, while saying ‘SIT UP’.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2<\/strong> – Lure with the treat until your dog lifts upper body off the floor. Catch their front paws. Praise, reward, repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/strong> \u2013 As confidence builds, slowly remove your support until the dog can maintain sit up position. Gradually put more distance between the dog and the treat. Take your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Step-3-alternative-1024x576.jpg\")
