This trick takes some time. I would keep lessons short and fun 2-3 minutes. You might spend a couple of lessons on each step. I spent about 3 days getting Splash to just enjoy targeting back and forth between the chairs.

Once your dog has got it move the trick to a new area to practice in. Otherwise you might have a dog that can only shake their head indoors near the piano.

If your dog looks clueless in the new location, go back a step. So if you have movable targets (like chairs) bring them to the new location, to give the dog a hint.

If you or your dog get frustrated, just go back a step.

I particularly liked the foot movement when Splash shakes her head. You could also get some freestyle moves out of this trick, for instance teaching the dog to take 2 steps to the left and then 2 steps to the right etc.

You could teach Nodding Yes with the same method, but with the targets above and below the dog.

Im having a little confusion with the "say NO" trick. My BC touches the targets but what is the command you use to get them to do it once the targets arent there anymore and when should you remove the targets and start using a command? Is it a hand gesture? When should I start it? Thank You!!

[kikopup]

remove the targets, but you can cue touch or point, if your dog stops offering the behavior. Another thing you can do is just leave the targets on the objects and move the dog away from them and click for not touching the targets.

You videos are fantastic ! I stayed up last night watching many of them. I am so glad I found your videos while my pup is still young. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge !

[HoneybunchBunny]

with a border collie you almost don't need patience, but with a post-it eating dalmatian you need a lot of patience :D But it's really fun to do it!

[Monioka]

so i taught my dog how to do this...but she shakes her head super slow...

[nicodanger13]

This click-clack hurts my hears, maybe it's me, but i think that this sound is too loud for dog's hearing that is more sensitive than mine.

[xibanezbronzex]

Super excited to try this! :D Do you have any tricks for teaching them to shake their heads yes rather than no?

[naturalkraft]

This gonna be the next thing to teach to my dog!!

Thank you Emily!

[cosmomatic100]

You should hold another contest!

[josski32]

Hmm so I wud guess yes is pretty much the same thing? I would bring the dog under a table and put the postit on the table and floor hehe

[23Nellie1]

This is so awesome! You should hold another contest again.

I have a bulldog, and its hard to teach him tricks because he's ignorant.. Alls he knows is how to give paw, and everytime i pull out a treat, his paw automatically comes up, and thats all he wants to do. Any suggestions on how to teach him somethin new?
