Question

What should I do if there is nothing in the tricks list?

Community Answer

If there is nothing in the trick list, it simply means your dog hasn't learned it. All you need is to just be patient with your dog. Depending on the personality of your dog, it may take up to 20 times of telling them to "sit". If they are a rambunctious dog, they may not want to be obedient and they will take much longer.

Question

My dog isn't doing the trick he learned. What should I do?

Community Answer

Reteach it to do the trick. Go into the Trick list and delete the trick. Your dog should forget the trick. Reteach it, speaking clearly, and remember the way you spoke while teaching it. You'll need to say it like that every time.

Question

Why does my dog sometimes spin instead of stand, like I ask for?

Community Answer

Sometimes your dog will confuse two tricks; make sure that you praise your dog when it does the trick correctly, so that it does not confuse them. If that doesn't work, try deleting the move and re-teaching it.

Question

How do I praise my dog?

Community Answer

Pet your dog until it sparkles or give it a dog biscuit or jerky treat. Doing this will familiarize your dog with the tricks you teach it and will allow your dog to perform the tricks longer.
