Train Your Dog To Turn The Light Off

TURN OF THE LIGHT SWITCH

This is a fun trick to teach your dog, even to show off when friends come round!

Firstly get a treat and hold it at the light switch that is the right height for your dog, one that he can reach on his back legs. Use a suitable command like “LIGHT OFF” and get him to touch the light switch as he jumps for the treat, reward him then with “GOOD LIGHT OFF”.

Gradually move away from the switch and alternately toss the treat at the switch and place it on the switch so that he has to knock it off, but a note of caution, the dog may hit the switch with its mouth rather than its paw and it may be better to hold the treat.
