Since the beginning of time dogs have been trained to do many amazing things.
With a little advanced dog training yours can too! The first question to ask yourself is what you are looking for from your dog.
Many dog breeds are capable and smart enough to learn tricks that are entertaining and fun for the both of you.
Many people will want to skip right to teaching their dog some of these amazing feats but like anything else they must learn to walk before they can run.
Obedience training is a must before going into any advanced dog training program.
Otherwise, teaching things like "the shaking of the paw" and "play dead" will be a frustrating nightmare to teach your dog.
This is because they have not yet learned the rewards of their learning and they haven't fully grasped how to learn from you.
I have seen many dogs do amazing tricks after the proper training and reward.
My Shih Tzu will will take her paws and pull the hair away from her eyes when I say "fix your hair"!! The most important thing to remember is that when you are teaching tricks, make it fun for your dog and provide a reward.
Every time your dog listens to your command and executes it, reward them with a treat and a lot of praise.
Some of these advanced dog training methods will be very difficult to achieve unless you know what you are doing.
I recommend that you consult either an expert dog trainer or purchase a dog training DVD, online training, or book that will help you achieve your specific goal.
With a little patience and plenty of fun you and mans best friend will be doing great tricks that will impress your friends and provide hours of enjoyment for your dog!
