🐾 TRICK TUTORIAL: TEACH YOUR DOG TO “PLAY DEAD” 🐶💥
Want to impress your friends or just have fun with your pup? Here’s how to teach your dog to dramatically drop like they’ve just been “shot” 🔫💀
✨ Step-by-step:
1. Start with “Down”
Get your dog to lie down. Use a treat to guide if needed.
2. Lure to Side
Take a treat and slowly move it to the side of their head toward their shoulder so they roll onto their side. Mark it with a “Yes!” or click and reward.
3. Add the Cue
Once they’re consistently flopping to the side, add a cue like “Bang!” or “Play Dead” 🗣️ (some folks even use finger guns for drama 🤠)
