How to teach your dog "Bow"

A neat bow to end the routine.

Learn it in the game

Difficulty ★★★ · In the game it takes about 2 sessions (1–2 minutes each).

🐶 Practice it in the game

Teach your real dog

Cue word: "Bow" · Hand signal: 🙇 Bend forward · Learn first: Down

  1. Start standing
  2. Lower the treat between the front paws
  3. Click when only the front dips (no reward if the rear drops)
  4. Hold for 1 second

Common mistake

It gets mixed up with Down — you may support under the hips with your hand.

Caution

Keep sessions under 5 minutes. Stop if your dog is tired or uninterested and try again later. Even shorter for puppies and seniors.
