The Scent Game: use your
dog's nose to play games. In Suzanne
Clouthier's site, she describes how to
play hide and seek, the Which Hand?
game, dropping items for the dog to
find, and find it! games (a stick in the
woods, or a toy amongst other toys).
Instead of feeding in a dog food
bowl, toss the kibble all over the yard
so she has to hunt for every one.

WAVE
Teaching this trick is good for doggy PR because it can give your dog an
opportunity to greet people instead of jumping all over them. My dog has
started waving on her own when people leave the house. It is so cute! To
perform this trick your dog must be able to raise a paw in the air while
staying stationery.
1. Start with your dog in a Sit/Stay and move a few steps away from him.
Go back every few seconds for a full minute to reward your dog for not
following you.( If your dog already knows sit/stay you can eliminate this
step)
2. Standing in front of your dog, ask for his paw, and click and treat him for
giving it to you. Do this several times in a row.
3. Take a step away from your dog and ask for his paw. Click and treat the
slightest effort to raise his paw without trying to move towards you. You
may need to reward him for staying for a few repititions before he will
remain in position and lift his paw.
4. As your dog raises his paw to place it in your outstretched hand, start
fading this cue by removing your hand quickly. Click and treat your dog for
swiping the air.
5. Repeat this step until your dog starts raising his paw when he sees your
outstretched hand.
6. As your dog starts to offer swiping the air readily without moving forward,
you can begin to verbally label this new behaviour Wave.
7. Change the hand signal to an actual wave by changing the position of
your hand from an outstretched palm to a waving hand. Offer the new cue
(the waving hand) right before the old cue (the outstretched hand).
Gradually fade out the old cue until your dog is performing the behaviour
when you are waving at him.
8. Add in distractions and practice in new places until the behaviour is
reliable.
