It's easy to teach an old dog -- or a young one -- new tricks, especially if he has already learned such basics as "stay" and "sit."

To complete this How-To you will need:

A dog that can sit and stay on command
Dog treats

Warning: Before you begin, have your vet check that your dog doesn't have hip or orthopedic problems that begging could aggravate.

Step 1: Tell your dog to sit and to stay. Keep them in that position for a few moments.

Step 2: With your dog in the sit--stay position, hold a treat above the dog's nose and say, "Beg."

Tip: Give all commands in a strong, assertive voice. Don't hit or yell at your dog for not responding properly.

Step 3: Correct the dog if they jump for the treat. Pull the treat away and firmly say, "No."

Tip: Training sessions should be no longer than 15 minutes.

Step 4: Give the dog praise and a treat when they respond to "Beg" by sitting on their hind legs and balancing with both paws up.

Tip: Help your dog balance by supporting their back with your hand if they need extra help.

Step 5: Practice the new trick. Your dog will be eager to show it off!
