Fippas will do this as well, so I tried to progress to put a treat on her nose, but she won't have this nonsense laugh.gif

I used to have a hound (nice long nose) who could balance a treat on his nose and when you said "take it" he flipped it up and caught it as it came down! laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

My moms little male dog does the nose trick... he can't flip it cause his nose is sooo small, but she was a meany and -*test*-('")ed how long he'd do it and he sat there almost shaking for 2 mins before she finnaly said ok.

Hi Caleb, To teach them to eat things from their paws etc, you first have to teach them the "leave" command. Start off with a tasty treat in a clenched fist. Your dog will sniff and may even try to nuzzle the treat out of your hand, but don't let them have it! As soon as your dog moves his nose away say "leave", open your hand and say "take it" and let them have the treat, do this a couple of times, then do it but as soon as they sniff tell them to leave (hopefully they should back off) as soon as they do you can give it to them but tell them to "take it". Once they got the hang of this keep your hand open with a treat in the palm, tell them to leave - if they try take the treat close your hand up tight and tell them to leave. Once they realise what they have to do you can put the treat on the floor etc and increase the amount of time you make them wait before you tell them to take it.


Just remember for the command of leave to work well it is important to tell them to take it

good luck

Mine can do the nose trick.. don't catch it unless its a prawn cracker. I can put food on the tops of their paws and say ...leave......go on then........i'm gonna try the bottoms of paws but i don't hold out much hope.
