From Begging to High Fives: A Guide for Pekingese to Learn Some Commands and Tricks 


Introduction:



If you are a proud owner of a Pekingese, you know how adorable and loveable these furry little creatures can be. They make wonderful companions, but like any pet, they require proper training to ensure they behave well and follow basic commands. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of training basic commands to your Pekingese, as well as the joys of teaching them tricks. Not only will training your Pekingese improve their behavior and make them easier to handle, but it can also strengthen your bond and provide you with endless entertainment.


 

        Training Your Pekingese to Sit

The first step in training your Pekingese to sit is to find a quiet, distraction-free area to begin training. Hold a treat in your hand and let your Pekingese smell it. Slowly move the treat above your dog's head while saying the command "sit." As your dog follows the treat with his nose, his hindquarters should naturally lower down. As soon as his bottom touches the ground, praise and reward him with the treat.


Repeat this process several times until your dog starts to associate the command "sit" with the action of sitting. Once your Pekingese has mastered sitting on command, you can gradually phase out the use of treats and replace them with verbal praise.

        Training Your Pekingese to Stay

Before you can train your Pekingese to stay, you need to train them to sit. Start with the “sit” command, and once your Pekingese can sit on command, start teaching them the "stay" command. Say "stay" in a firm but gentle voice and take a step back. If your Pekingese stays in place, give them a treat and praise them. If they move, gently lead them back to the original position and try again. Repeat this process until your Pekingese can stay in place for a few seconds.

Once your Pekingese can stay in place for a few seconds, gradually increase the amount of time they need to stay in place before getting a treat. Practice the "stay" command regularly in short sessions throughout the day. With time and patience, your Pekingese will be able to stay in place for longer periods.

 


        Training Your Pekingese to Come

To train your Pekingese to come on command, start in a quiet, low-distraction environment, like your living room or backyard. Put your Pekingese on a leash and let them wander around a bit. Say your dog's name followed by the command "come." Use a happy, upbeat tone of voice and encourage your dog to come to you by patting your legs, using a toy, or offering a treat. When your dog comes to you, praise them enthusiastically and give them a reward.

Repeat this exercise several times a day, gradually increasing the distance between you and your dog. Practice in different environments with increasing distractions, like the park or a busy street. Always reward your dog for coming to you, even if it takes them a while or they're distracted.

Training your Pekingese to Give High Fives

To get started, make sure your Pekingese is comfortable with the "sit" command. Then, grab a treat and hold it in your closed fist in front of their paw. Using your other hand, gently tap the back of their paw while saying "Give me five."

Now, here comes the fun part. As soon as your Pekingese touches your hand with their paw, open your fist and give them the treat. Ta-da! You've just completed the first step of the high-five trick.

Next, gradually increase the height of your hand until your Pekingese is giving a high five. And don't forget to add the verbal cue to the trick. Say "Give me five" or any other silly phrase that you'd like to use.

With patience and practice, your Pekingese will be giving high fives like a pro in no time. And who knows, maybe they'll even start asking for a high five every time they want a treat. That's a smart dog right there!

So go ahead, give it a try, and let us know how it goes. And remember, training should be fun for both you and your furry friend. So, keep it light and entertaining, and you'll be amazed at how quickly your Pekingese picks up on new tricks!

Remember, patience and consistency are key when training your Pekingese. With practice and positive reinforcement, your furry friend will be trained to sit, stay, and come on command. So get started today and enjoy the benefits of having a well-trained and obedient companion by your side.


        Training Your Pekingese to Lay Down

Now let's talk about teaching your Pekingese to lie down. This command is a little trickier than the previous ones, but don't worry, it's still achievable.

First things first, find a quiet, distraction-free area where you can start training. Your Pekingese may get confused if there are too many interesting things going on around them.

Now, get a treat ready and hold it close to your dog's nose. Slowly move the treat towards the ground while saying the command "down." Your Pekingese will follow the treat with their nose, and as they do, their body will naturally lower down to the ground.

Once your Pekingese has fully laid down, praise them and give them the treat. You can then encourage them to stand back up and repeat the process.


Remember to be patient with your Pekingese during this training. They may not get it right away, but with practice, they'll eventually catch on.

And there you have it, your Pekingese can now lay down on command. Now, go ahead and show off their new skill to your friends and family!

        Training Your Pekingese to Sit On Their Hind Legs

Let's talk about teaching your Pekingese how to sit on their hind legs. This is a command that not only looks impressive but also strengthens their core muscles. So, if you're looking for a way to show off your dog's skills at the next family gathering or at the dog park, this is the trick for you!

First, find a quiet and distraction-free area to train your pup. Hold a treat above their head and say the command "up" or "stand". As your Pekingese reaches for the treat, their front paws will lift off the ground, and it will naturally sit back on its hind legs.


Once your furry friend has mastered the "up" command, start saying the command "sit" while gradually lowering the treat towards their back. Your Pekingese will naturally lower their body into a seated position. Once they do, praise them and reward them with the treat.

Keep practicing this command until your Pekingese can sit on their hind legs for long periods. Who knows, with enough practice, they might even be able to balance on their hind legs and walk a few steps! Just remember, patience and consistency are key when it comes to training your Pekingese. Happy training!


Conclusion:

In conclusion, having a well-trained Pekingese can bring immense joy and satisfaction to your life. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, you can teach your furry friend to follow basic commands like sit, stay, come, and lay down, as well as fun tricks like high fives, dancing, and sitting on their hind legs. The time and effort you put into training your Pekingese will pay off when you have a well-behaved and obedient pet that brings you adoration and praise from family and friends. So don't hesitate, grab some treats, find a distraction-free area, and start training your Pekingese today!
