Dog Challenge #8 “Play dead”

I don’t know about you but this heat is too much. Many days of a heat advisory can really get us all down. So, how about  a break from outside training for you and your dog.

This month’s challenge is to teach your dog to play dead. It can be done in the comfort of your air-conditioned living room.

Skill level: easy

As always, have fun with your Australian Labradoodle!

You could make a gun shape with your hand or not. Sound effects can be added like, “BANG!” Or you could turn it into a joke and mention to your pup about the heat while you give a hand signal, “Gee Rover, do you think it is too hot outside?” (dog falls over as if dead). Give it a try!

And as always send us your videos and pictures!

If you have missed out on previous tricks, don’t forget to look them up!
