How To Teach Your Dog to BOOP His Own Nose!
Ok everyone, let’s be honest for a sec… do you find ‘booping’ a dog’s nose oddly and wonderfully satisfying?
Yeah, that’s what I thought. So I’m just gonna take this to the next level and show you how to teach your dog to BOOP HIS OWN NOSE.
This is not a drill.
In fact, it’s a super easy trick and a cute variation on a fundamental dog training skill – hand targeting. Hand targeting, where you basically teach puppets to touch your hand on cue, is one of the first things I learned in puppy school and, as expert trainer Andrea Arden explains, it’s a valuable skill for your pup to know. Our BOOP! trick just adds on a layer of adorable fun. Check it out and happy BOOPing!
