Middle is a great game for dogs. It can often be used as a party trick or after a recall.
Step One:
Having a treat in both hands, use one hand to lure you dog around one leg and use the other hand to lure them in-between your legs. Once your dog is in this position, say "yes" and give them the treat. Repeat this several times. However, if you prefer your dog to be in a sitting position in between your legs rather than standing, you can lure them into a sit once you have managed to lure them in between your leg' s, say "yes" and give them a treat.
Step Two:
Say the cue word such as, ‘middle’ and then complete the action of luring your dog into the position. Again, repetition is key.
Step Three:
Here you can start to fade out lure to see if your dog has understood the cue word. However, remember the rule of three. If you have attempted the behaviour a maximum of three times and your dog still hast got it, come back later to avoid frustration and start off with the cue and lure step .
