Teaching Pekingese Basic Commands: Tips and Tricks

Teaching Pekingese Basic Commands: Tips and Tricks
 


 

First things first, let's talk about the importance of training your dog. Not only does it make them more obedient and easier to handle, but it also helps build a strong bond between you and your furry companion. Plus, it's a terrific way to keep them mentally stimulated and prevent them from getting bored and destructive. So, without further ado, let's dive into some basic commands and tricks you can teach your Pekingese.


 




Sitting

 
One of the most basic commands you can teach your Pekingese is "sit." This is a great command to start with as it is relatively easy to teach and can be used in a variety of situations. To teach your Pekingese to sit, follow these steps.




Hold a treat in front of your Pekingese's nose, and then slowly raise it above their head. Your Pekingese will naturally follow the treat with their head, causing them to sit down.

As soon as your Pekingese sits down, say "sit" and give them the treat as a reward.




Repeat this process several times until your Pekingese starts to associate the word "sit" with the action of sitting down.


Stay

Once your Pekingese has mastered the "sit" command, you can move on to teaching them to "stay." This command is particularly useful when you need to keep your Pekingese in one place, such as when you're opening the front door or when you're greeting guests. To teach your Pekingese to stay, follow these steps:




Ask your Pekingese to sit down.

Once they are sitting, hold your hand up in front of their face and say "Stay."

Step back a few paces, and then immediately return to your Pekingese and give them a treat if they are still sitting.

Gradually increase the distance and duration of the "stay" command and be sure to reward your Pekingese each time they successfully follow the command.





Come

The "come" command is essential for all dog owners to teach their furry friends. This command can be used to call your Pekingese back to you in a variety of situations, such as when they are off leash in the park or when they've run away from you. To teach your Pekingese to come, follow these steps:



Start by getting down to your Pekingese level and saying their name in a happy, upbeat tone of voice.
When they look at you, say "come" and give them a treat as a reward when they come to you.

Repeat this process several times, gradually increasing the distance between you and your Pekingese until they start to come to you reliably.





Shake

Now that your Pekingese has mastered some basic commands, it's time to move on to some tricks! The "shake" trick is a classic and is sure to impress all of your friends and family. To teach your Pekingese to shake, follow these steps:




Ask your Pekingese to sit down.

Hold out your hand and say "Shake."




Gently take hold of your Pekingese's paw and give them a treat as a reward.

Repeat this process several times until your Pekingese starts to lift their paw automatically when you say "shake."





Roll Over

If you want to teach your Pekingese a more advanced trick, you can try teaching them to "roll over." This trick is a bit more challenging than the "shake" trick, but with patience and persistence, your Pekingese can master it. To teach your Pekingese to roll over, follow these steps:


 

Ask your Pekingese to lie down.

Hold a treat near their nose and slowly move it towards their shoulder. This should cause them to roll over onto their side.




Once they are on their side, say "roll over" and give them the treat as a reward.

Repeat this process several times until your Pekingese starts to roll over on their own when you say "roll over."





High Five

The "high five" trick is another fun and impressive trick that you can teach your Pekingese. To teach your Pekingese to give you a high five, follow these steps:




Ask your Pekingese to sit down.

Hold out your hand and say, "high five."

Gently tap your Pekingese's paw with your hand and give them a treat as a reward.




Repeat this process several times until your Pekingese starts to lift their paw to give you a high five when you say, "high five."

Remember to be patient with your Pekingese when teaching them new commands and tricks. It may take them a while to understand what you want them to do, but with persistence and positive reinforcement, they will eventually get the hang of it.






In addition to teaching your Pekingese basic commands and tricks, it's also important to socialize them with other dogs and people. This will help prevent them from becoming fearful or aggressive toward strangers or other animals. Take your Pekingese on walks, bring them to the dog park, and invite friends and family over to interact with them.



Lastly, always remember to keep training sessions fun and engaging for your Pekingese. Use treats, toys, and praise to reward them for their good behavior, and keep sessions short and sweet to prevent your Pekingese from getting bored or frustrated.





Teaching your Pekingese basic commands and tricks is not only a fun activity for you and your furry friend but also an important aspect of responsible dog ownership. With patience, persistence, and a sense of humor, you can teach your Pekingese a variety of tricks that will impress all your friends and family. So, get started today and watch your Pekingese become a star performer!
