Teach Your Dog to Spin on Command

Teaching your dog to perform a 360 rotation on command is probably one of the easier tricks to teach, either that, or I just have 2 very attentive dogs who pick things up very quickly.

Below is the method I used to train both Luther and now Lars to spin a complete rotation on command:

- Place your dog in a sit, facing you

- Show them that you have a treat in your hand

- Move the treat in a circle around the dog’s head, the dog will follow the treat and will have to spin to do it.

- Once the dog completes the full rotation, praise him/her and give the treat

If you add this little exercise to your daily doggy playtime, sooner than later, you will have a pooch that will spin on command!
