If your dog has successfully mastered the commands “sit” and “lie down”, you can begin teaching it other commands.
It’s hard to even call them commands – rather, it’s a fun trick that will entertain your pet and give you many pleasant moments when you smile and watch the surprised faces of those around you.
The essence of this “trick” is that the dog “reads” a command written on a piece of paper and then carries it out.
Don't be too quick to express disbelief - it turns out that our four-legged friends are great at distinguishing words.
So, to teach your dog this command, write simple commands that your pet is already familiar with on several sheets of paper. Important: the letters should be large.
After this, show the piece of paper with the command – let it be, for example, “Give paw” – to the dog and say it out loud.
Over time, the dog will remember the command and will be able to perform it even if there is no voice accompaniment.
Important nuance: experts remind that due to the similarity in the spelling of the instructions "Sit" and "Lie down", it is difficult for a dog to distinguish between them. The solution is to use a different language or even replace words with pictures.
