Bow - Two ways I know of to teach it. 1. Click (or say “yes”!) whenever you see your dog stretching (“bowing”) and treat him immediately after. Timing is very important! After he’s started to do it on purpose, because he knows he gets a reward, start giving it a name. Say “Bow!” right before he starts to do it, and reward him right after.
2. Take a treat and use it to lure his head down to the ground (say “Bow!” as you do this) – if you’ve taught him down like this, you may need to use your other hand to hold his rear up. Click (or praise) and treat the instant he goes into position. After he seems consistent with this, don’t bring the treat all the way to the ground. As he picks it up, stop the treat higher and higher, then start taking the lure away completely, just using the voice command.
Spin- Take a treat and lure the dog in a circle; click or praise and treat as soon as he completes it. As he learns it, take the lure away or decrease the hand movement.

Teach the dog to touch a target of a post-it note with it’s nose. (We use clicker training for this). Click and treat each time the dog sniffs to investigate the post-it on your hand, once it gets good at that (it shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes) start sticking the note to the wall at the dog’s nose level.
Get the dog to touch the target (post-it) on the wall… gradually move it up the wall… keep getting the dog to touch it a few times each time you move it.
(this is easier if you have lightswitches you push to turn on and off). Stick the post it to the lightswitch… reward the dog just for touching it at first, once the dog has that down pat start only rewarding if the dog actually manages to flick the light on and off…
At first you’ll be rewarding for what is just a fluke of hitting the light switch, but the dog should catch on pretty quickly and will start actually trying to hit the switch. It shouldn’t take more than a few days of practise… especially if you’re already using a clicker to train your dog.
We use this one, it’s cute if you’re taking the dog out for a walk or drive and can say ‘Marley, can you hit the lights before we leave?’ and our dog Marley will run around flicking the lights off before we go (‘Hit the lights’ is the actual command we taught him, but asking the question makes it funnier to guests)
