Doing Tricks

We watched a great video from a dog trainer on how to teach your dog the Bang You’re Dead trick. It’s taught in three stages, the first of which might take the dog several weeks or a month to learn…

Teach your dog to sit upright

Then go to Down (which they should already know)

And last, to lay on her side and Play Dead

Ripley learned all within about two weeks. As you can see, the hardest part is to keep her head down on Dead. We’re still working on that!
