Train your dog to jump through hula hoop, great dog exercise and to calm dogs!
Have fun with your dog hula hooping! A critical part of my Total Harmony Dog Transformation® System effectively treating all behavior problems in dogs is keeping them as calm as possible, boosting confidence (frightened and aggressive dogs are not confident dogs) and giving them a routine & job to perform successfully on a daily basis, great for all dogs as well! Most dogs lack needed aerobic exercise and hula hooping done correctly for 15 minutes can be equivalent to going to the dog run for an hour, is not weather dependent so can be done daily and as you see dogs love it!! Hula hooping helps keep dogs calm throughout the day, reducing anxiety and destructiveness. It can be increased to 2 to 3 times daily for dogs particularly stressed due to a new home, loss of a fellow pet or owner and is an important element in rehabilitating dogs.To train can use your dog's meal instead of treats. Verbal command is "jump through" hand signal is as shown. Treats are used for every jump initially then intermittently and then randomly e.g., 1 out of 3, 3 out of 3, 2 out of 3 Treats are typically eliminated once a behavior is learned, I keep using dog's food on a random basis as an important part of the game is the hunt for food, a natural instinct that provides mental exercise as well. Dog should run as far as possible and non-stop. If your dog is timid to start, begin with the hula hoop touching the floor and toss the treats initially just far enough to have your dog walk through the hoop. As your dog gets comfortable slowly raise the height of the hoop while increasing the distance the treats are thrown. As shown, it is not necessary to have your dog jump very high and do not if your dog has or is genetically predisposed to any skeletal issues, the main point is to have your dog running as fast and as far as possible while jumping through. If your dog is not a big eater can use a flirt pole toy, and before starting any exercise program always check with your vet first.
