Teach your Dog to Jump Through a Hula Hoop

video Teach your Dog to Jump Through a Hula Hoop

Want to teach your dog a cool trick? This is the perfect thing for you! At first it may seem hard, but I taught Sam in one day when she was about 6. Everyone who sees her do this is impressed, I was even surprised that it worked. Watch this video and you will see that teaching an old dog new tricks is possible!

Please comment on my video, it is my first one!

I know your trying to be stylish but flashing the text instructions and having them pop-up in different spots and in different styles make it very difficult to follow. I often had to pause the video just to be able to read them, and that was within the first minute or so. Had to stop watching it. Hope this helps on your next one.

I like this, I think I'm going to train my 2 year old Labradoodle to do this!

(ps, you should train the cat to do this next!)

Cool vid. I will try to see if my basset and my beagle will do this (HIGH doubts for Fred the basset) Sam might have some St bernard there too...

She might, I never thought about that one

My grandma has a bernard/chow mix named Morgan that looks similar to Sam

Very professional video > I love it! I might try this with my Chow Mix. (hence the username and profile picture). What breed is your dog, you might want to add it in the description unless you want to be asked that same question millions of times. She looks a lot like my dog except with a different color coat.

Thanks! Sam is a mutt, but we don't really know what breeds she is a mix of. Some people think she is part German Shepard, but we're not sure, since we found her after a storm when she was a puppy.
