'How to' train your dog to Wipe his dirty paws

Train your dog to wipe his paws when he comes in from outside. This is a simple shaping technique I am using to train my dog bandit to wipe his paws. Later you can transfer this learning to a board made with sand paper to file down your dogs nails.

Is this trick similar to the trick 'dig it'? kikopup has one tutorial video on 'dig it', and I think both of them are quite similar.

@MBLAQandAnimals Most likely it is similar. Kikopup and I are best friends and train very similar. :))

@pamelamarxsen Haha yeah! So for example, if I teach my dog how to wipe his paws, I don't have to teach 'dig it' in case it confuses him? Like he might think "Why are there two cues for the same trick?".

@pamelamarxsen Yes I really would love a dog more than anything but yes you do have to be careful but I have done ALOT ALOT of research on them because I love them but someone told me that they can get quite nasty and they bite if they do not get the exersize that they need but i am willing to do that and everything but i think i am going to have to wait until I am older before i get one :/

@Tiah1479 It takes a lot of research. Looking for good or excellent hips, eyes, structure, genetics as far as behavior as well. A lot of breeders do not give all the proper info and will just keep some stuff hidden. A friend of mine has a border collie that is 4 and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and she just learned that it runs in the line, but was not told. Very deceiving some breeders! It takes a lot of research to look at the family tree and look at siblings, relatives or the dog too

@pamelamarxsen Yes i see but how do you know that they are generally good breeders?

[pamelamarxsen]

@Tiah1479 No, I look for excellent breeders to make sure that when I do get my next dog he or she has perfect genetics. I do not care if I have to travel to get him. I flew to Oregon to get Twix. I do like his breeder a lot, but I am not sure if my next one will be from her. No particular reason, I just like to look around to see what is out there. :) I also like breeders that give the puppies a lot of mental stimulation. Things for them to crawl on, explore, etc...

@pamelamarxsen So do you tend to go on the internet and look for proper breeders that are close to you?
