This is a clicker training video on how to teach your dog to cross their paws. If you dont have a clicker you can always use some other noise maker like a clicking pen, or just a word like “yes!”
Any questions on dog training behavior modification feel free to write me a message! I love answering questions!

There are many ways to teach this behavior. Another being, holding out your hand and asking the dog to “Shake” and then whipping your hand away so that the dogs foot lands on top of the other foot. There is also another way, where the trainer can lure the dog to the left or right when they are in the down position and the dog will naturally cross their paws to reach the treat, which you can use your clicker to capture.
Let me know if you do succeed in getting your dog to cross their paws! Some dogs are easier than others! Kiko with her match stick legs (who NEVER crosses her paws hardly ever) was a challenge!
Also pay attention to the way your dogs hips are laying. If they lay with their hips to one side, then it might be easier for them to cross their paws in one direction better than the other. If they are lying like a lion then they will be able to cross both ways with the same ease.

I’ve been trying to teach this to my dog Cadence for the past few weeks. Normally she picks things up VERY quickly but this one is very difficult for her. It seems that the actual physical part of crossing her paws is too difficult for her to do, are some dogs just not physically able to do this?

Great tutorial! thanks!!!
I started this with my aussie – what cue do yo use though? I tried to use “cross’ but it’s too close to ‘crawl’..had the poor baby confused (crawling and pawing to the left at the same time which ended up with her laying on her side :-/ )

thers no point of buying a clicker if u can do it with ur mouth
well at least i can…
Good idea and nice …
Good idea and nice use of clicker and fading target. I trained my two dogs similarly but used a hand target instead of the yellow object. What it doesn’t show is how to move from fading the object to using the handler’s feet as a cue. Or the Chihuahua doing it – just a previously trained Collie. I found it helped to move from hand target when the handler is sitting and then to hand when standing. Move to hand and foot standing then finally just foot.

Tiku and I are practicing this trick! I just uploaded a video of him practicing, the only trouble is he wants to touch the target with his nose (he learned to say “no” with his head, so he got a little bit confused) and if I completely remove the target he barks and try to play dead LOL… guess we have to keep practicing!!
Thank you so much for your videos, they are great!

Sparky and I are at the point where we’re just using a piece of paper as a target but I can’t get rid of it. Everytime I try and remove it he just gets confused and doesn’t do anything! Help?
