The Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop is sponsored by Lionel Trains, the Art of AJ, pawTree, Dr. Harvey’s, Jones Natural Chews, Puppy Style Treats, Clear Conscience Pet, Whimzees, Loving Pets and Weruva. All content and opinions expressed are my 100% my own.
I love trick training, I love dog treats (or rather, I love giving them to my dogs) and I am so excited to be participating in the Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop brilliantly conceptualized and perfectly executed by Jessica at Beagles and Bargains and Jodi at Kol's Notes. Just look at all these amazing sponsors!
THE TRICK: Ruby offers a play-bow all the time so it was one of the first things I put on cue (I use 'bravo' because 'bow' sounds too much like 'down'). Watch the video below to see the steps I used to teach it:
THE TREATS: Ruby and Boca are giving away an awesome prize package from Weruva - I didn't even know they made treats but The Ginger Sisters love their gourmet canned food, especially their Paw Lickin' Chicken. U.S. residents are welcome to enter to win a prize package including Paw Lickin' Chicken or Blue Water Whitefish Treats and Pumpkin Patch Up! Be sure to stop by all the other participating blogs before tomorrow - learning new tricks and entering each treat giveaway. You can go trick or treating from home in your pajamas! Every treat entry will also go toward a chance to win one of three grand prize packages, including a Peanuts Halloween Train from Lionel Trains, a custom Halloween pet portrait from The Art of AJ and a $300 treat package from all of the other sponsors!

my girl is veryyyyy stubborn! she does what she wants!
ReplyDeleteRuby loves trick training - I think she likes to show off how clever she is!
DeleteAhhhh I love it! Ruby is so smart! Great video!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda! This was a first for us and a great learning experience. I notice in the second part of my video I am not following my own advice of feeding the treat in position :p
DeleteMe, always, when trying to film me training: DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO. LOL
DeleteWell, you certainly make trick training look easy! Nice.
ReplyDeleteRuby makes trick training look easy...the real challenge would be teaching this trick to Boca! Maybe next year :)
DeleteShe is so cute! I can't even handle that wagging tail. I tried this awhile ago with Atka, but it was too difficult a position for him to maintain. Mauja's almost full grown so she might have enough body control to learn it now :)
ReplyDeleteI want to see how Boca does with it - she is much more challenging than Ruby as far as trick training goes.
DeleteMy dog enjoys trick training but sometimes she gets too distracted by the treats to concentrate.
ReplyDeleteThat's how Boca is, Carolyn! Ruby has just the right amount of food motivation.
DeleteRuby is soooo enthusiastic!!! Great job! I may have to try this with Blueberry.
ReplyDeleteSometimes TOO enthusiastic! We had to do some warming up before I could start filming.
DeleteNala is harder to train because she is stubborn so she ends up traing me
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dog is Nala?
DeleteMy dog is stubborn and hard to train.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dog do you have, Mike?
DeleteTegan loves to learn!!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine had a Keeshond named Tegan! What kind is yours?
DeleteMy dog is definitely harder to train.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dog do you have?
DeleteMy dog loves to learn tricks when he's in a good mood!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dog do you have, Jerry?
DeleteYes my dog loves to learn!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dog do you have, Mary?
DeleteDepends on the day but generally likes to train as long as there are treats :)
ReplyDeleteAll 3 of mine do great especially with treats being the reward.
ReplyDeleteMy two babies are pretty trainable - they are very treat motivated!
ReplyDeleteSO impressive! You are so professional (I am so not). :) Ruby looks lie she is easy to train, too. LOVED hearing the kitty meow in there. My cats eat Weruva and they love the stinky fish more than anything!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Ruby! That one is definitely on our to do list and I love your cue word! Our two girls don't care much for trick training but our Lab mix Luke LOVES it. That's OK, I'm not sure I'd have time to work with all three of them consistently anyway!

My dogs are stubborn so it takes a while to teach them anything.
ReplyDeleteCoco is very easy to train, but I haven't taught her that many tricks.
ReplyDeleteMr. N is very good at learning tricks. I have him do bow after running through some of his tricks. People laugh.
ReplyDeleteMy dog is such a good boy! He loves learning tricks.
ReplyDeleteMy dog is harder to train. She's just always focused on the treat instead.
ReplyDeleteRuby is such and cute, enthusiastic dog :) What a cute trick!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute trick! Nola thrives with any kind of training, and loves to learn tricks. Pike prefers to play. Olivia is just happy being Olivia, but enjoys simple tricks. Not sure how Lucky will be.
ReplyDeleteBoth my dog, Tonya, and my cat, Duchess, LOVE trick training! Tonya knows around 200 (she's 5 years old), and Duchess knows nearly 20 (she's 4 years old). Thank you for getting together and hosting this fabulous giveaway! It's been a fun 10 days of learning and fun! (We entered under an "Amie De" Facebook account)
ReplyDeleteMy dogs LOVE to learn tricks. They go nuts when the clicker comes out.
ReplyDeleteStubborn
ReplyDeleteMy dog was an adult when I adopted her. She seems to know just one trick- rolling over.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs are not too easy to train. If I could get them one-on-one I think it would be easier because they get distracted by the treats and each other.
