[annjhe29]

She really is a smart dog :) I'm jealous .

[EdwardLover001]

I was looking through your videos, they are really really really good ! but can you make one on how to teach a dog to speak? please

[ilovefoldie]

Thanks for sharing!

[MizzCrazilicious]

Your dog is soOoOo CUTE! But I am totally biased, because he/she looks EXACTLY like my Shih-Tzu LOL...except that my Angel has a bumblebee-shaped grey marking on her back :)

[DogTrainingTricks]

Smart Dog! Why not put it on cue - call it a "sit pretty" and make sure you reinforce the behavior.

[IBarfRainbows101]

my dog attually started doing this pose naturally but i do not call it beg i call it sit pretty :)

[kaymota]

if i run out of treats i use chesse my dog loves chesse

[ANNIESTAYANNIEWAY]

how did you train your shih tzu because i am getting one in a few months and i want to start right when get her/him

[DogTrainingTricks]

I'd go with clicker training if I was you - all dogs love clicker training and respond brilliantly to it.

Make sure you are consistent in your training, provide loads of feedback to your dog, keep training sessions short, sharp and focused and also use treats that your dog loves.

All the best with your Shih-Tzu, they're great little dogs.

Very interesting. We are getting a Chihuahua on the 18th of Sept. She will be 8 weeks then and we will be able to bring her home. I want to first start on the potty training...Is the "Clicker" a good way to train with that?

[AmmyxWaka]

Im suscribing you!

[SuperRockinPrincess]

[rian009]

your dog's so cute! she look like an ewok begging like that. i have a fat lhasa apso and she looks like a buddah when begging lol. how long did you train your dog to beg? :D

[DogTrainingTricks]

Hi - thanks for your kind comments.

Me and Macy went through the steps required to learn the "Beg" over a two week period. This involved many short 2-3 minute sessions each day.

All the best with your dog.

[eddsworld1234]

lol my dog already knows how to beg but in the different way she just looks at you cutly

[a69a59b]

all dogs do that its not the same thing.

[brynpuff]

shih-tzu aww

[Gundogs4ever]

Shih-Tzu's are pretty cute, but im not much for small dogs

[Devikvampire]

Dammit i wish i had a dog now.

[DogTrainingTricks]

You can have my one if you like.

Only kidding.

Shih-Tzu's are pretty cool dogs though.

[HeidiSurette24]

@DogTrainingTricks

There not pretty cool there awesome lol my shih tzu is named Xena great video BTW

[xstarlesseyess]

how long does it take you to teach these tricks to your dog

[DogTrainingTricks]

It all depends on your dog and your skill as a trainer.

In the long run it doesn't matter how long it takes to teach a new trick or any behavior. The important thing is to have fun with it and enjoy the process.

[verdaita]

Amazing !!! Thanks for sharing :)

[soccerstars1610]

i am sooo teaching my dog all the tricks she doesnt know yet!!!!!!!

[scooterinnc84]

Dang, how many treats do you have to give your dog... He's going to be obese after all those treats and he'll be passing out instead of begging. I do like that method though, but not so many treats.

[DogTrainingTricks]

Hi, thanks for your comments.

Yes you need to give your dog lots of treats when building a trick.

Keep in mind that the treats are very small and healthy. Plus you can always weigh the treats and take the total weight off your dog's daily meal allowance.

All the best.

[16jessup]

hi, thanks for putting up the videors. your dog is sooo cute and smart. put up more videos please, yours is by far the easiest to learn.

[DogTrainingTricks]

Thanks for your comments - I'll try to get another video up in the next few weeks.

Maybe you guys can make a video of your own dog leaning some tricks?

[mouse7993]

You need to put up more videos. I've just watched a ton and yours are way better then most lol.

[DogTrainingTricks]

Thanks for your support!

I will try to get some more videos done - I've just got to find the time.

Thanks again.

Chris

[mouse7993]

Cool, thanks. I'm sure sit and down are quite easy. What do you recommend for stay? High five would probably be a good one that I would be interested in seeing.

[RhysGriff92]

thanks he is 6 months he is getting better I think I was a bit Impatient

[RhysGriff92]

my dog wont jump on step he just lifts his head

[DogTrainingTricks]

Keep clicking any raise of the head but slowly raise the target stick so your dog must lift up off his haunches to reach the stick. If he doesn't reach up, he doesn't earn a click or treat.

Note: Ensure that your dog is in good physical health and capable of rocking back on his haunches.

Good luck with it.

[rosemarama]

Great work! I'm curious also as to how long it would take from beginning to end? Wonderful outcome - no hand signals!! :D

[DogTrainingTricks]

Thanks rosemarama,

The "Beg" trick took me and Macy about two weeks from start to finish. We undertook many short sessions per day until she was comfortable responding to only the verbal cue word.

[Devikvampire]

Too many treats...

[barnratt247]

I don't think he's giving her like a whole treat; probably the size of a piece of kibble. It's what most trainers do.

[Smiles4lifepkn]

This is a great training technique. How long should this take to implement?

[TongaHolidays]

Nice moves Shih-Tzu!
