How to teach your dog to Limp

This is a video on how to teach your dog to Limp using the clicker training method.

The old school way of training this behavior was to grab your dogs paw, restraining it while you walk forwards, and continue to do this until your dog doesn't put down their foot. Another way I saw in a book was to have your dog on a lead with their choke chain on, and loop it around their foot, so in order for the pain to be released on their neck, they had to raise their paw.

So INSTEAD, using the clicker training method, I will show you how to get your dog to figure it out all on their own! Not only is training like this fun for you and your dog, it is both mentally challenging for you and your dog. I can bet you that if you attempt this trick your dog will be taking a LOOONNNGGG nap afterwards! Mental stimulation is just as good at tiring out a dog as physical stimulation. :)

Keep sessions very short (3 min) and fun, it should take quite a few sessions on each of the steps to get the final behavior down, unless you have a three legged dog...

Happy Clicker Training!

See you next time!

  • I just taught my english setter this trick. It was so fun! We had some problems from lifting his paw when standing still to lift and walk at the same time. He did it with support from my hand, but the transition from support to no support was hard. I felt we didn't have any progress, but then I just gave him some time off from this trick for a couple of weeks, and when we started the training again he did the limping correct! Yeah! :D I can put a videoresponse here if you want to see.

  • Hey Emily,

    First of all congratulations on this wonderful video ! Our little Gaïa learn this advanced trick in no time thanks to you, and she's only 9 month old !

    I was wondering if you have a video of how to teach how to pass the ball back with the nose, like you do as a reward at the end of the video...

    Thank you so much your channel is really helpful.

  • I got an inspiration from this. My dog just had her first lesson in fake limping. She can lift her right front paw and I'm going to shape her to keep it in the air and then to keep it there when she walks. Though I should finish the old tricks first (crawling and crossing paws).

    Alva whines when I use clicker training methods. I think she is a bit frustrated and worries if she doesn't success to get rewarded. I keep telling her by training she'll get rewarded if she tries to do things.

  • You by far have the best videos for trick training. I've watched other videos that used physical manipulation, and it was obvious how stressed the dogs were. It is really a joy to watch how happy your dogs are.

  • 1000 thumbs up from me! Thank you so much! My puppy is 6 months now... we haven't found a good obedience class yet, so I'm going to try your techniques! No punishments AT ALL!

  • I love ALL of our videos!! Thank you So much for making them and u are a great trainer! keep up the amazing work!!!!!!! :)

  • Ah, I love this video.All the others I found involved lifting up my dogs paw and teaching him from there to keep it in the air. I'm sure that, at some point, he'd understand, but this is much MUCH easier. He already knows paw, and therefore it'll be easier to teach a new trick by building up on something he already knows. Thanks so much. :)

  • Hi! First of all, I have tought my puppy quite a few of your tricks, and i have been dying to find out how to teach him to limp. I first saw this trick on a TV show, and the dogs owner first got it to play dead (bang) then said "Are you hurt?" and the dog did the limp command. When i watched your video, i was wondering when you add the voice command, because I would like to teach my puppy how to limp after he has played dead. I dont know when or how to add the voice command!
