LOOK AT THIS CUTE TRICK!! (not sure if this one is already posted here somewhere??)
ANYWAY, i LOVE videos like the one below
where ppl explain STEP BY STEP *how* they taught the trick.

I can't wait to try it, but i kind of wonder if a 50 lb dog could (or should) do this?? hmmmmmmmm...i'll have to make sure his nails are smooth, ha ha!!

I like this trick, but I don´t think I´ll teach it to Jinx... I won´t have any skin left on my back!! She bends her toes even when just giving paw!! Sometimes I think she is a cat, that´s how she uses her paws! Auwch!!:D
 
yeah, i'm beginning to reconsider teaching my 50 lb dog to do this trick after all, maybe is only for very small dogs who have had a recent manicure, too!!
 
Wow, i hadn't looked at the DogTrickAcademy CLASSROOM for a while, WOW, more videos than ever now,
and all soooo well made,
so easy to understand!! KUDOS TO YOU, JEAN!! I LOVE those kind of videos, with step by step demos!! LOVE IT!!

Some are tricks/cues i'd never seen before.

thank you for the great videos!! BEST EVER!!!!!!
 
Thanks for sharing my video with others, tigerlily45614. For those of you who have big dogs, you can alter the trick a bit by having your dogs to massage your back rather than scratch it. You can teach your dogs to step with different paws slowly (a little wobble board may be a great way to start and give your dogs an idea to start off) and transfer that behavior to a piece of paper and finally to your back while you are sitting on a stool or standing. This way, you will not have to worry about the long nails and the strength that your dog have. :)

Thanks for your comments! This video is about a year ago when I just started training dog tricks, after reading dog books for about 4 years. I got inspired to train this trick when I saw a maltese scratching its owner's back on a youtube video. :)
 
to NewBear-----WOW AND wow, so impressive, such a great tutorial, especially since you had JUST STARTED training tricks when you made that tutorial!? KUDOS!!!
