Let’s Step Into Rosie’s World of Tricks
When Rosie was just a pup, she stumbled upon her first trick quite by accident. Our little Bernese Mountain Dog was trying to reach for a treat that had fallen behind a cushion. Instinctively, Rosie extended her paw in an attempt to retrieve the treat, and voila, she had just learned to “paw.” From that moment, Rosie was hooked, constantly eager to learn new tricks and showcase her skills.
Fast forward a few years, Rosie now knows a plethora of tricks, including ‘paw,’ ‘high five,’ and ‘hug.’ These tricks are now a part of her daily interaction with us, her family. And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like getting a warm ‘hug’ from Rosie after a long day. These training sessions have not only taught Rosie new skills but also strengthened our bond with her, making her feel even more like a member of our family.
Secret Ingredients to Teaching Your Bernese Mountain Dog New Tricks
Teaching Rosie new tricks was always a fun affair, and positive reinforcement was our secret weapon. Rosie, like most dogs, loves treats. Whipped cream, peanut butter, and blueberries are her absolute favorites. So, we used these as rewards whenever she successfully performed a trick. Just a glimpse of that whipped cream can, and Rosie would do anything!
However, treats weren’t the only secret to our successful training sessions. Consistency, patience, and making the sessions enjoyable for Rosie were just as important. We structured Rosie’s training sessions to be both fun and challenging. Remember, your Bernese Mountain Dog’s personality plays a significant role here. Rosie, for instance, is adventurous and playful, so we always made sure our sessions matched her energy.
