Capturing a Play Bow

Asher learns how to play bow as Charlotte plays with her, hoping to capture and click for the behavior. Once the behavior is clicked multiple times, the cue of "play" is added. The next stem is to selectively click (shape) the play bow to not fall into the down position.

she's so beautiful...i love manchester terrier dogs, pity that is a little bit difficult in my country to find one T.T

Thanks for the compliment! She's such a bright and funny little girl, also very loving and sweet. I will pass the comment on to her :) where are you from? They are listed as an endangered breed unfortunately, I hope people take to them :)

I got a manchester aswell, hes a bouncy little buggy too. Hes 12 pounds tho

Great to hear it! I love Manchesters, such a cheeky little dog. I try to make the most out of her bouncy character, and it has enabled me to teach her a play bow, how to spin, and a great loose lead walk. You should try it with your MT, it's a ton of fun and very easy! We might just do heelwork to music sometime, we like dancin about :)

@JJheadcharge I was thinking the same thing myself. I think what the owner was going for was to capture the playbow and then associate it to the word "play". It seems more as a trick/behavior thing, as dogs don't need to be trained how to play bow. It's universal. Dogs even understand it when we play bow to them.

What a great demonstration of how quick and easy it can be to capture and shape behavior w/o ever touching or physically coaching!

[JJheadcharge]

Didn't think the "play bow," needed to be taught...

[tifacola]

wow! Always wondered how ppl got dogs to do the weird tricks. My Puppy is Deaf so it makes it a lot more difficult.

Better than other techniques to teach the bow.
