The Need To Know
Now, Command Zinnia to touch the stick; but before she touches it, move it around so that she has to spin around to touch it. Click/treat when she’s made a spin. Do this again, several times. Then try spinning more than once. Don’t click until she’s made her spin twice. Click/treat when she makes her perfect spin. Then try teaching her t spin three times. When you have a big treat in your hand, your dog (if she’s excited,) will tend to spin faster. This is what you want. The faster Zinnia spins, the better. Give her even more treats after you click her for spinning fast. Pretty soon, you’ll have a dizzy dog that spins on command!
Variations on this trick:
Spin Left, Spin Right - With a hand motion and a verbal command, tell your dog which way to spin. “Spin Left!” with pointing the correct way, Zinnia spins left. “Now, spin right!” She steps spinning left and starts spinning the other way.
Catch your Tail - If you can teach your dog to spin really fast, it will like like she’s trying t catch her tail.You might could even teach her to actually catch her tail by clicking the behavior.
