Play Dead Dog Trick

Video Transcript

Were going to teach him how to play dead and how you do this is a slow progression of what is called shaping and we need to shape the behavior. The very first thing we need to do is to get our dog down. Get him down. Good boy. Give him a couple treats here, when the dog appears to be comfortable, now we need to flip them on to their side. So I need to flip him over by bring the treat to his butt, and just getting over on his side. Were going to give a few treats here. As he's there, I am going to let him have a couple treats and then I am going to bring his head around on to the ground. This is the first step of play dead. We need to keep his head down, if you have a stay command, you can tell him to stay. Tell him stay, good boy. Get that head down, good boy and then okay and let him up. We want to get him down there again and to add a hand signal. You want to bring him down and tell him bang. Which is the first step of the hand signal, which is my pointed gun. Give him a treat, tell him okay. To get the whole thing, we want to tell him bang. Slow death, and good boy when he does it. That's a slow death for you.
