Have you ever seen those adorable dog tricks on television where the owners seem to get their dog to do anything? It is quite amusing when you know that you can train your dog to obey fun commands, such as training him to jump into his chair so that he can eat with the rest of the family at the dinner table! Why don't you give it a try?
Why should you teach your dog to learn this trick? Well if you are like me and cannot stand the sight of your cute little friend with those droopy eyes all watered up with tears because he wishes he was eating the same food as you, then this is one surefire way to solve his yearning and to have him join you at the dinner table.
Not everyone wants their furry little friend to eat while sitting in a chair like the rest of family, but for those of you that do it will be worth the process. Below is a simple three step training process to teach your dog to do just that:
Step 1: The first thing you need to do is be conscious of safety. When it comes to this dog trick the main safety factor that you need to adhere to is to ensure that the dinner chair which is to be used for your dog to jump into has solid traction. The last thing you want to do is train your dog to hop on a chair that has a slippery wooden surface which will cause him to slide off and break a bone. Simply place a thick towel or a rubber placemat on top of the seat. This should do the job just fine.
Step 2: Now here is the easy part. While your dog is in the same room and can smell those luscious aromas of your cooking, enthusiastically pat the top of the chair while beckoning him to come and say the command “Dinner!” “Dinner!” repeatedly. For a dog that is hungry this is all you need to do to get him to hop on the chair.
Step 3: Now use the “Stay” command so that your dog remains seated while you push the chair in. Dogs love to be elevated so it shouldn't be too hard to keep them there and be sure to make this dog trick worth it for him – have a hot plate of food waiting for him at the dinner table!
