Description: This video details the steps involved in teaching a dog to crawl forwards. Not only is crawling a fun trick that can be worked into a larger routine, it's a great way to improve on the mechanics of your training. Notice how we build and lower criteria when teaching this behavior to set the dog up to be successful. This kind of adjustment is the key to teaching your dog to do anything with proficiency using positive reinforcement based methods. The dog continuously experiences moments of success. We take great care to keep motivation and engagement high, while avoiding unnecessary frustration by making the goal behavior just slightly out of reach. This philosophy can be taken and applied to any behavior that you want to train. An additional benefit of teaching your dog various different "trick" behaviors such as this one is that it helps strengthen stronger bond that you have with your dog while enhancing the dog's ability to learn.
