Will Foxie play dead?

If you've been following along with our trick series we thought we'd take a different turn this week, and share a tip and a video from our friends over at LoveYourDog.com to teach you how to play dead.

  1. Have your dog lay down on his stomach.
  2. Gently roll him on his side and say "play dead" or "take a nap"
  3. While he's lying on his side, keeping his down on the floor, repeat the cue "play dead" or "take a nap."
  4. Encourage him to stay still on the floor for a few seconds, then say "ok" or "Wake up!"
  5. Let him stand up and reward immediately.

Want to see it live? Watch their video here!

Sound fun, but need someone to practice with? Meet Foxie.
