Shut The Door Buddy: Easy Dog Tricks to Teach and Impress
Summary
Teaching your dog to open and shut doors can be a fun and impressive trick. All dog breeds can learn this, but keep in mind that smaller dogs may find it challenging to handle large or heavy doors.Article
Introducing a fun and practical trick: teaching your dog to open and close doors! While all breeds can learn, consider your dog's size and the door's weight. Here’s how to get started:
Choosing the Right Door
Select a door that swings easily on its hinges. Attach a makeshift hook with double-sided tape at a height your dog can reach by standing on its hind legs and placing its forefeet against the door.
Starting with Shutting the Door
1. Initial Steps:
Open the door slightly and place a treat on the hook. Encourage your dog by saying, “Shut the door.” As the dog reaches for the treat, its forefeet will naturally close the door.
2. Alternative Method:
Balance the treat on the door handle. When the dog closes the door, let the treat drop to the floor as a reward.
Advancing the Training
1. Involve Another Room:
Once your dog understands the basic action, place the treat while your dog is in another room. Call your dog over and say, “Shut the door.” If needed, guide them with encouragement to get the treat.
2. Removing the Visible Reward:
Gradually, teach them to shut the door without a visible treat. Only reward after they respond to your command.
3. Perfecting the Trick:
In early training, the door doesn't need to be tightly shut. As they improve, ensure it’s fully closed before rewarding.
Teaching to Open Doors
1. Swinging Doors:
Dogs can learn to open swinging doors easily. Encourage this by pushing the door open at the bottom and letting them practice over several days. Close the door behind you, call them, and they will learn to push it open.
2. Doors with Latches:
For doors with simple latches, hold your dog up and guide their paw to push it back. Use the command “Open door” to associate the action with the words. With practice, your dog will manage on its own.
With patience and practice, these tricks can become an enjoyable activity for both you and your dog, adding a touch of amazement to your everyday routine!
