How To Teach A Dog Trick To Play Dead

Dog trick training can be a fun way to interact with your dog and to give your pet a healthy outlet for an intelligent mind. One trick that many people want for their dogs is for the dog to play dead on command.
In order to train your dog to play dead your dog should first know how to lie down on command.

Start with the Lay Down Command

How To Teach A Dog Trick To Play Dead

Start out with your dog lying down. Grab one of his paws to steady him in position. Then as you tell him ‘play dead’ (or whatever command you want) push him on the side of his head or body towards the paw that you are holding. By holding the paw on one side and pushing him from the other side you should be able to create a situation where the dog starts to roll onto his back.

Once he is on his back now you want him to hold that position. Slowly and calmly continue repeating ‘play dead’ or whatever other command you want to use. You can even calmly dispense little pieces of treat into his mouth as long as he stays on his back.
If he moves from his position or hops up then you need to stop with the treats and immediately start over from the lying down position.
If your dog is going nuts over the treats, getting overstimulated by you holding his paw or pushing on him then more than likely you need more obedience training.

The foundation for most trick training is to first have a dog that listens well on command and can be relied on to pay attention despite food or other distractions.

We always encourage our dog lover friends to work on dog trick training after they’ve done obedience training. Obedience training establishes proper relationships between dogs and owners and it is far more important than any dog trick you can teach.
We could say this because we’ve worked with many dog owners who tells us, “My dog is great! She does all the tricks. She shakes, fetches, rolls over, plays dead, sits pretty and all the rest. I just can’t get her to come when called, walk properly on a leash, or stay like she should.”

Lots of yummies for this little trick or treater!

Poor Poncho. He is the best ever! How many dogs would allow their nails to be trimmed, then follow it up by being dressed up for Halloween - as a food item no less! Too cute... check it out>>>>

I did make it "fun" for him though. For nail trimming he got leftover rice cake crumbles (he loves em), with mixed in lamb jerky. For the "lobster" outfit he got the same treats, plus some "ball time", which he finds very rewarding. 

See? Just goes to show you 1) you can train a dog to like anything (almost) 2) you can use many things besides food to reward your dogs great behavior! 

Happy and safe Halloween, from me and my sidekick Poncho! AKA: my "rock lobster"
