Let’s Get to the Trick!

This year, I taught Atka how to “snuggle” for the Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop. Unfortunately, he became quite sick a few weeks ago and has been on an extremely strict diet – he hasn’t been able to keep much in his stomach.

As a typical Great Pyrenees, he’s unwilling to do anything without the prompting of a treat (which he’s not allowed to have). So, I’m not going to be able to share a fun video like I did last year. Instead, I have a tutorial for you to teach your own dogs!

Snuggle

With Atka well on his way to becoming a therapy dog, I thought it would be adorable for him to learn how to snuggle with those he’s visiting. Of course, he’ll lean on them and beg for pets, but I wanted him to know how to put his head in the lap of another person. So, we decided to learn ‘snuggle’.

How To Do It:

  1. Start in a seated position where your dog can easily access your lap.
  2. Hold a treat between your knees.
  3. As your dog leans toward the treat, click and treat when his head touches your lap (if your dog isn’t trained with a clicker, here’s a great tutorial or you can say ‘yes!’ instead).
  4. After a few rounds of this, begin to add the clue ‘snuggle’.
  5. As your dog begins to understand the concept of putting his head in your lap, require him to hold still for a few seconds before clicking and treating.
  6. Gradually increase the time you have your dog keep his head on your lap.

Atka learned to keep his head in my lap for about 10 seconds before I gave his release word, ‘okay’. It took a few weeks of working before we got to this point, so don’t be disappointed if your dog isn’t willing to hold his head on your lap for long periods of time right away. Just practice, practice, practice!

Now that you’ve learned the trick, how about we discuss the treat?

Enter the giveaway below for your chance to win! Don’t forget to visit all of the other amazing bloggers participating in the giveaway hop. Each blogger has their own entry form so you can increase your chances of winning!

    my 3 girls love to snuggle, the baby, now 6, if you hold her, you can actually let your hands go and she will wrap her legs around you, then she starts talking to you. my girls are big snugglers. they dont need training to snuggle or love. but i have small dogs.

    My dog will have problems learning this trick because she thinks she is supposed to go put her head on my lap whenever I sit down (& will snuggle with other people as long as they invite her up on the chair). Interestingly, she always waits for permission to get on the furniture if someone she is not close to/familiar with their preferences. But if no one is on the furniture or I am sitting on it, she will get up right away. (And if I am sitting with someone she does not know, she waits for permission.) It works well but I never trained it…

    My dogs are small dogs so they can’t do the head in the lap unless you are sitting on the floor for them but they do know the hugs command 🙂 They will get in your lap and snuggle up to your chest by leaning in for hugs.
