Teach Your Pup to be Sassy in the 2017 Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop

When witches go riding and black cats are seen, doggies are howling…it’s near Halloween!

It’s time for the annual Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop, hosted by Kol’s Notes and Beagles & Bargains! This year’s giveaway is bigger than EVER, and you won’t want to miss all of the treats we are giving away. Learn an abundance of super fun dog tricks along the way, including ours: teaching your dog to be SASSY! How cute is that?! So, are you ready to learn tricks and win treats? I present to you the details…

How it works:

  • Check out our video and instructions on how to teach your dog to be sassy!
  • View all of the incredible prizes that are up for grabs!
  • Enter to win on our blog, then head to the other participating blogs to enter. The more blogs you enter on, the higher your chances are to win.

Teach Your Dog to be Sassy

I’ve taught McKenzie Rae and Khloee both to be “sassy.” The trick involves a bark or quick howl, plus some sort of movement, like a jump or spin. What makes this trick fun and unique is that you can put your own spin on it (pun intended!). Check out the video below, then read my basic teaching instructions:

  • If your dog can’t jump or spin, or bark or howl on command, I’d start by teaching them those basic tricks. Make sure you use lots of positive reinforcement!
  • For last year’s giveaway, I taught “spin,” so check out that post to teach your pup how to spin 😀
  • Teaching your dog to be sassy is really just combining a noise with a motion. Khloee likes to bark at me with attitude when I come home from being away, so I used that as fuel for the trick. Each time I’d get attitude from her, I’d ask “Why are you so sassy?” Then I started treating Khloee every time she would bark to positively reinforce the behavior, but only when I asked if she was sassy. I did not want to reinforce the barking unless I was asking for it.
  • Once your dog knows how to “speak” combine it with the “spin” trick I linked for you above.
  • Add the “sassy” queue once your dog has perfected each motion!
