Crazy Tricks

The first trick in this video is Splash showing Service Dog trainers that you dont have to use punishment to train service dog behaviors! Dogs are super smart, they can learn to do all we need them to do though positive reinforcement training.

Splash turned 18 months and I got her hips x rayed recently they look awesome and the vet ok-ed doing agility and Frisbee tricks! So this is the beginning. I would like to thank Al from WhyDogsFly for helping me with learning how to throw the Frisbee. I am still a major novice and struggling with throwing. Arg! I hate being the typical girl who cant throw! Thats ok, because Splash will make me look better than I am. However since my Frisbee lessons I think my throws have improved by at least 50%!!! Splash thanks Al too!


There is an exercise in this video where I am teaching Splash to bark at me. And the reason I trained her to do this is because 1 it s great for movies and 2- I wanted to train arousal on cue as a behavior 3- I wanted to see if I could teach a Schutzhund bark and hold type behavior where the dog is very calm and collected but looks aroused. Meaning a safer more reliable dog, than a dog that is over aroused and over their threshold- less likely to let go when the trainer says out.

Ok so ur dog MUST be 18 mo or older to learn a jumping trick and must be checked by the vet??? Just wondering :))

[kikopup]

@josski32 Well... I would say 18 months before doing flipping jumps... you never know what could happen. The main thing is not doing repetitive and high jumps- like agility and frisbee. Low jumps- 2 inches etc are fine, and higher jumps every once in a while are fine and natural. but the dogs growth plates haven't sealed. Some breeds tend to have bad hips from genetics, and some border collies have this- so that is why I x rayed her hips first to see if they were ok

can i use this on any dog???? :O the amazing tricks? I love to do these things with a GR :D

[kikopup]

@VDOUBLEVx sure! I mean, some dogs like to do certain tricks more than others- so play to your dogs strengths

Amazing video Emily! That tail trick was pretty neat. I've never seen that before. I'm sure Splash is going to be amazing at frisbee and agility! Can I ask you for a bit of advice though? How did you teach splash to "cross paws"? I don't think it was in this video; you know when the dog lays down and crosses paws?
