2️⃣ Mark and reward for holding

🎄 Day 13 of Trickmas: Sneaking a Peek at the Presents 🎁
Who can blame them? Those presents are very tempting 👀
This trick is a crawl—keeping your dog low and slow as they move forward. It’s a great way to build body awareness, impulse control, and focus.

🎁 How to train it:
1️⃣ Start with your dog in a down
2️⃣ Lower the treat to the ground
3️⃣ Slowly lure forward, rewarding for staying low
4️⃣ Keep it short and fun—this one takes strength!

Perfect for curious pups who just have to see what Santa brought 🐶✨

🎄 Trickmas Day 12: Jump for Joy — Santa Is Here! 🎅✨

Today’s Trickmas trick is a jump OVER an object—perfect for building confidence, body awareness, and thoughtful movement (not chaos jumping 😉).

In today’s video, we’re using a broom handle set nice and low so dogs can succeed safely.

✨ Trainer Tips:
• Start with the bar on the ground and reward stepping over
• Raise height gradually — low and slow wins the race
• Use a neutral object (like a broom handle) that will fall if bumped
• Skip jumping for puppies, seniors, or dogs with joint concerns

This trick should always feel fun, optional, and adjustable for the dog in front of you 💚

❄️ Day 10 of Trickmas: Santa’s Snow Shuffle! ❄️
Today we’re teaching your pup how to back it up like they’re giving Santa a little extra room to land his sleigh! 🚂🎅✨
