So once I've taught a dog to bring her paws up to me at the same time, I'll actually teach them how to dance. And I'm using a treat here because we want this to be fun and this is tough for some dogs because they're not really meant to be on two feet. So...
This is a tire jump. It can be elevated so that there is a lot of space under it. So the dogs actually have to learn to choose to jump through the tire instead of running under it which would be their instinct. So when I'm starting with it you want to...
As I get the dog used to backing up with one or two steps, back, I'll start putting the word with it, back, good. And I reward her for backing up on her own. At this point, I'm still moving with her. Come, good, back. And the rails on either side help...
Now we've learned to get our dog to go in circles in each direction beside us and we've actually worked on moving away from the dog and teaching to do so just from your hand signal without being right on top of you. We can use this when we're teaching a...
Once your dog is proficient at giving both feet you want to try to put a little distance between you. So that you can get, stick them up, good, good stick them up, sit, good. Stick them up, good. Good. Good. From there you can also go into a little bit...
Another fun way to teach them to back up is to teach them to back up in the heel position. I'll call this reverse and when she is in heel with me she's expected to back up with me. How I start that is, I do the same thing. I'll use a rail, however, one...
Good. So she's done pretty well with the railings. Back it up. Good, back. Back. Good, back. Good, back, uh-uh-uh. Nope. Back, good. And she's being fairly correctable when she's without them. So she's ready to start practicing that a little bit, and...
There are a lot of tricks you can do with your dogs. Backing up. We've shown a couple of that already. I'm going to show it to you another way that's a little different. And that can actually help you in tight quarters, if you find yourself there. Hello...
When I'm teaching a dog to back up, I will actually create a channel for them to help them to learn to back up straightly. And how I do that is I start with the come command with the dog at one end and myself at the other as you see here. Come. Good. Now...
Now once my dog is comfortable going through the tunnel to me, I'll start the dog the same way. "Down, down, Good". Ok. And then, I'm going get her to walk and follow me through: "Tunnel! Good Girl! Good". The majority of dogs catch on to the tunnel very...
Once your dog understands that going through the tire is the object of this exercise, then you're going to start trying to send them ahead, and going with them. And letting them make the judgment on their own, instead of us luring them through that hole...
Now, when I'm teaching a dog to give me it's paw as I'm looking for the reaction I want, good, good, as she gives it to me I will name it. You'll see there's also a hand signal going on. This hand means I want the paw that's in front of this hand, the...

As we teach our dog to come, we want to expand their range of difficulty. As you see, she already knows it, she's already responding to the word. But, I have a helper off-camera who's going to pull her away from me. We'll demonstrate how to get her to...
