Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Puppy and Dog Tricks "Teach Your Dog Basic Tricks"

Dog tricks are a great source of fun for both the
dog and owner. Basic tricks can be easily learnt
by your dog and offer great amusement to all that
watch. Often tricks the dog learns are behaviors
that they already have, but you are asking for
them to do it on a command. Examples of these are
things like "yawn" Your dog yawns naturally, so
all you do is as you see the dog yawn say "yawn"
and make a fuss of your dog. This may take time
but eventually the dog will yawn to command,
which can give you both a great sense of
achievement, and maybe some laughs along the way.

Another trick is called "dig" or "find the
treasure" here you are using your dogs instincts
to dig and their great sense of fun. Start with a
few treats under a cloth and encourage your dog
to paw off the cloth, as soon as your dog paws
the cloth give a treat and praise. Your dog will
soon learn this new fun command, and you can have
a lot of fun digging together. Just a warning
here if your dog is a big fan of digging up your
garden this may not be a good idea to teach them.

Tricks can and do include commands we may use
every day, the command to "come" you can use a
verbal command or a whistle, again you have to be
consistent with what you want from your dog.
Start this with calling your dog while they are
next to you in the home, when the dog comes over,
praise and give a small treat. Do the same
command, word or whistle several times a day,
slowly increase the distance the dog has to come
to you over time. A new command has been learnt.
The trick for "circle" is when you get your dog
to go around you in a circle, with you in the
middle. Get your dog to face you and with the
treat under his nose lead the dog around you in a
circle, when you start this say "circle" when the
dog gets back to the beginning, which is facing
you, praise and reward. Try this for five minutes
a day a few times a day. The dog has such a great
ability to learn and love of praise most tricks
can be learnt by all dogs.

The key for some breeds is what motivates them.
It could be a toy, treats or verbal praise from
you. A lovely trick is "speak" this is where you
teach your dog to bark on a command. It a good
fun trick, that you both have great fun in
learning. You need to have time with your dog and
a favorite game. Start by getting your dog
excited to play, jump around and say things
excitedly "let's play" or "game time" as your dog
cottons on, he will get excited too and so will
bark, you then say "speak" with praise as well in
this instance the reward is the game, it could be
fetching the ball, or a game he loves.

As you build this up he will learn to "speak" on
command. This is a party winner for the family.
The only warning for this trick is of you have a
dog that already has problems barking too much.
In that case, you may be better not to teach this
one.
