Start by teaching your dog to spin from a standing position. If your dog doesn't know how to stand on command, focus on that first before moving on to spinning. You're ready to get started with a few snacks in your palm.
1) In front of your dog's nose, place a goodie. Slowly drag the treat to one side of your dog's head, forcing it to pivot to follow the goodie.
2) Continue to drag the reward in a circle around your dog's body, forcing it to spin in order to keep track of the treat.
3) When your dog has completed a full circle with the goodie, say "yes" or "good," or click your clicker. Then swiftly give the treat to your dog.
4) Steps 2 and 3 should be repeated multiple times.
5) Add the command word "spin" once your dog appears to comprehend the action before repeating stages 2 and 3.
6) Practice the spin for about five minutes many times a day. Before you know it, your dog will be spinning in a complete circle.
