Tricks To Teach An American Eskimo

Just like any trick you teach your American Eskimo, you want to be very precise. You want to always do it the same way, especially in the learning stages, then you can get a little more loose with comands or rewarding. Below are a few things to keep in mind when training an American Eskimo.

Step 2 – Choosing The Reward

Besides positive reinforcement, you want to make sure you choose a good reward. One that isnt to rewarding, but one that makes your American Eskimo happy. Rewards dont have to be expensive treats, what I find works best are mini carrots you can buy at the produce section for about $1.99 a bag. They are not only very cheap but very healthy and juicy for your American Eskimo. Even better, they can be broken in half, or cut into thirds for making them go even further.

Step 3 – Getting Started

Choose a location, either outside or in the middle of a room inside. Gather your rewards and keep tem hidden. What works well is if you sit on the floor and place them behind you.
