How to teach your dog "Kiss"

A boop with the nose — the most-used love trick at home.

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: "Kiss" · Hand signal: 😘 Point to your cheek · Learn first: Touch

  1. Start with a nose touch
  2. Put your finger on your cheek
  3. Click when the nose touches the cheek
  4. Fade to the cue alone

Common mistake

Do not reward licking — nose tip only.

Caution

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