Funny Dog Trick: Ninja Jack Russell Terrier Karate Kicks a Book | drsophiayin.com

www.drsophiayin.com brings you dog tricks performed by Jonesy.
Took me a while to figure out how to teach him to do a kick but now that I know, it's actually easy (maybe harder than the kleenex trick though, depending on what your dog is good at).

I love it!

Just wonder Dr. Yin, Do you think it is ok to do hind exercises like this with a German Shepherd who appears to have good hips so far? Should I refrain from teaching him from doing exercises like walking on his hind legs?

[SuperBark1]

Should be fine, especially since he's not bearing weight on it (e.g. like walking on hind legs a lot and for a long period is not a good idea:-). Actually according to a canine physical therapist that I know, it would be considered good physical rehab exercise --a hip flexor extension.

I've been teaching my dog karate kick for a week or so, we are starting to add on cue. :)

I'm interested in how you taught it, I did freeshaping, but it took forever at the beginning.

[SuperBark1]

I taught him to back up and put his hind end on a short foot stool. He had already learned in one session of free-shaping to stand on a stool.

Anyway, backing up to do this caused him to raise his leg which made it easier to capture. I will put full shaping steps on my web page at some point so hopefully anyone can do it with any dog:-)

[SuperBark1]

Not bad once I figured out how. Hint: free-shaping was not the quickest way:-).
