While this trick will serve a lot of purposes, it is vital to ensure that your dog will not be leaving the compound before teaching it this trick.

To teach your dog how to open a door, tie a toy to the door handle and have it remove repeatedly. Let your dog do this till it can perfectly open the door. Now reward this baby for getting it right.
One of the reasons many won’t consider getting a dog is because of the need to pack poops. A dog requires much attention if you do not want the entire house to be smelling poops.

This is where teaching your dog how to do his business outside is more useful. Not only will this save you from stress, it will also ensure that your house is healthy and smells nice for visitors.

Dogs can even protect their owners. If you have children, dogs may detect when your child is sick because dogs connect faster to humans and can detect when we are down.
Teaching your dogs simple tricks provides you with enough opportunity to bond with your dog. However, it is crucial to know that learning for dogs is also gradual for them. It will help if you take
it one step at a time in order not to overwhelm the dog. Take time to teach your furry friends all sorts of games, including soccer, to ensure that you spend more time together.
