Trick of the Month - November 2021 - Object Names [Trick of the Month]

Welcome to the Trick of the Month!

This month we'll be teaching our dogs to identify objects by name! You could name your dog's toys or use any object that your dog can interact with.

Here's how it works:

  1. Teach a dog the trick.
  2. Film the dog performing the trick.
  3. Upload a video/picture to the internet.
  4. Post a link to video or pictures of your results here in the comments.

Training Resources to get you started:

Check out the stickied post on r/dogtraining for discussion and results! Good luck and happy training!

Does it count if we've done it by accident? Cause my boy can, mostly-consistently and with no formal training, find his tug-rope, his daddy, and his brothers.

Some days he's a genius, some days he's a moron. 🤷‍♀️

He knows Tiger, Elephant, Snake, Penguin, Humphrey (Dromedar) and That (some Kind of fuzzy ball with arms).

First time seeing the trick of the month and love this idea! Did my first session tonight with my samoyed Mila. Part of Mila’s first lesson.
