CLICKER TRAINING TRICKS
- aka "how to get treats the easy way"

Play dead

This is such an easy trick to do! When your human says "Play dead", you just lie down on your back and RELAX. Nothing to it.

High five and low five

High five and low five are easy to do. And an easy way to clicker train your human to give you treats. Just try it.

All you have to do is put your paw on your human's hand, when he or she holds it out. Easy peasy! AND if your paw is dirty, you can wipe it off on your human's hand at the same time : )

Sit or stand on your hind legs

This may seem a little more diffecult that high five and low five, but it's really not that hard to master. Just try sitting up - not much to it, right?

You do this trick, when your human raises his or her hand. At least this is a very common signal that a human wants you to do this trick.

It can be a little tricky (no pun intended!) to figure out, which hand and/or verbal signals mean what, but just do SOMETHING! Usually your human will think you are pretty clever no matter what you do. As long as you do SOMETHING! And it'll get you lots of treats and candy.
