Dog Training : Teach Your Dog How to “Play Dead”

Training the pet can certainly be an enjoying activity. But, when this activity is not done in the right way, your dog might feel so stress and so will you as the owner. There are various tricks that may be amusing to the owner as well as the people around the dog. One that is quite interesting in nature is the “play dead” trick. Dog Treats are always needed when you training your dog to do some tricks. Not only that, don’t forget to always say great things or praises when your dog has done the trick very well, such as: good boy, smart girl, great, while giving the dog soft pat in the head or caress. In order to teach your dog how to “play dead”, it is recommended that you need to teach the dog some basic tricks, such as sit and lay down.

Once this is done, try saying play dead or with a finger pointing as a gun, say bang! bang!. After that, position them in a way that they are lying down on the floor on their back. Wait for a few seconds before a treat is to be given as well as some deserving praise. Some trainers also recommend to first say “play dead” when the dog is laying down on their back naturally. This will help them relate the word with what they are currently doing. This process is to be repeated frequently so that the dog will remember how to do them. During the first few days, it is best to constantly give them delicious treats when they have accomplished the trick. However, after a while, try to lose the treat and give them lots of praises instead. After a while, they will be able to lay down by just listening to the command given by the owner.

As I wrote earlier, if your dog couldn’t do the trick at first, don’t worry, it’s common that not all dogs can do this trick at first. It’s not your dog’s fault, so there’s no reason to give him or her a punishment. Instead, try to make the process as enjoyable as possible. Not only will the dog be able to learn tricks faster in the future but also strengthen the bond between the owner and the canine.

Luxury Royal Crown Derby Imari Pattern Pet Bowl

Master ceramicist Peter Ting has designed a beautiful luxury pet bowl for your best furry friend. For this collection, Peter deconstructs traditional Royal Crown Derby ‘Imari’ patterns and reassembles them into a contemporary collage. Each piece is personally created (joining, matching, overlapping pattern) and may take up to 6 firings to achieve desired depth of color and vibrancy. After final firing, all the 22 ct gold is burnished by hand ( a painstaking and labor intensive task, where all the gold is rubbed with damp silica sand, transforming the dull gold into a lustrous gleaming gilding). Only available in 7 pieces, exclusively at 20ltd.

Some customer reviews

“We have tried other brands of timothy hay for our first guinea pig and he would eat them all, but when we first offered him this brand he went nuts for it. He still loves it and we just got a second piggy that seems to prefer this over what was sent home with him. The quality is great. Not much dust in the bag from this hay either. Some of the other brands leave a tremendous amount of dust at the bottom of the bag.” — rjncmj

“This hay from Peters was nearly all consumable, with a low percentage of stems and seed heads. My guinea pigs ate nearly all of it every day. I will be buying this brand exclusively for my pets.” — Mary E. DePrato

“This was a lot of hay for the money. It is also good quality hay. Good value.” — Sherri L. Carsello
