“Say Your Payers”

It’s important in the life of an athlete to stretch out before an event and even before basic exercise to avoid injuries. This rule applies to our canine athletes!  The “Say Your Prayers” trick can be used as a way to stretch your dog before they perform, play or exercise, and it can be used as a cute trick to impress their fans. Step One, teach “Paws Up”:
You are going to teach your dog to place their two front paws on your arm or on a chair.  I’d suggest starting by luring your dog to put his/her front paws up on your forearm, then reward with positive reinforcement. Once they understand and do what you ask,  you could use the “paws up” Command as a verbal cue.Step Two “Say Your Prayers”:
Once the “Paws Up” command has been mastered move on to reaching your hand (with a treat) under your forearm to lure your dog’s nose between his/her paws. (See photo) As soon as your dog ducks their head click, or say “yes” and reward them.  Once they have mastered the end of the trick with their head between their paws you can put a name to the trick “Say Your Prayers”.
