Teach Your Dog "Cover"

Another trick I will include is "Cover". This has your dog in a sitting
position. Your dog will hide it's face behind their paw. Loop your
dog's leash, or tie something around their snout (loosely), this will make your dog push it off. Start saying "Cover" while rewarding them. Enjoy!
