Now the clicker in this video looks useful. Nice tutorial, I'm going to try this on my puppy. Thanks! (:

@lbxgreen depending on how old your dog is you may want to hold off training this for a while or only train it to a couple of books height, I wouldn't attempt to train a dog younger than 18 months to 2 years a full handstand as your dogs body may not be developed enough to do such a physical trick. there are loads of other balance tricks and back leg targeting tricks you could train a really young pup though, back leg lifts are a fun thing to start with :)

Thank you! Okay sorry, but i have another question. My dog climbs the books and does not go backwards. I taught him to go backwards and he learned but he avouded the books. Then when were practicing he'll get lazy and go lay down and not listning so I have to start over with one book. Lol what do you suggest?

@MackenzieMills89 you're doing the right thing, just go back as many steps as you need to for your dog to get it again, sometimes you need to keep going back, maybe go slower, I would recommend going VERY slow with this trick it you practice every day then only add one book a week, this is to build up the correct muscles. keep sessions short, between 5 and 10 minutes so as not to strain your dog. also check out my newer video on this as there are many more tips on that one :)

My dog goes on his books but he sits with his back legs, and does not stand. Will he still learn?

[zsianz1]

@MackenzieMills89 I think it will still work but you may have the problem of them putting too much weight on their back legs, see if you can get to the stage of the wall (remember to go very slowly though!) and see how he does with that :)

Yes, I like this. I've got a great 5 year tri-colour collie and we do lots of clicker work and shaping - like all working dogs he loves to use his brain. We're going to give this a go........should be fun! :-))
