Play Dead - A Trick

Trick #18!!!

Play Dead!!

This is a very easy trick!  

You can either lure, or clicker train it. 

Since it's not very complicated, I mostly lured.

I did C/T for duration. 

First, put your down in a down position. 

If they will "Hip", it makes this trick even easier!

Seeker, doesn't 'Hip', but it was still easy. 

Next, take a treat and push it toward their chest. 

Here you'll need to watch for a weight shift, 

reward ANY shift at first. 

You are looking for them to lay on their side. 

When you get a 'side', JACKPOT!!!

Once they are doing this consistently, you can name it.

I use "Bang", probably not terribly PC, 

so pick any name you like!

Here's the video!

Finally, I can use some music I LIKE!

I figured you could live through 50 seconds of it!

Enjoy!!
