How did I do it? It was not easy. It requires lots of …
Practice, Patience and Perseverance.
At first, I don’t understand the point of doing it.
Why is it so hard to just get a tasty treat?
I’m a Senior Dog but I’m a Puppy at heart when it comes to a tasty treat. My mom said that I forgot the command “WAIT.” She had great intention that Dog Treat On My Nose Trick would help me. I started with a small cookie just above my eye then on my nose.
This trick is meant to be fun so I only practice in short sessions. I also set a time limit of 10seconds (from start to end). I called this the 10sec Trick n Treat. I gained an admiration on this trick. Why not?
I get to have a tasty treat.
If you wish to try this 10sec Trick n Treat, Here’s Some Helpful Tips …
1 Ask your dog to sit and stay.
2 Lay the treat on your dog’s nose.
3 Gently and slowly move your hand away.
4 Say the command word “WAIT”
5 Have your dog balance the treat for 3sec
6 Then say “GET IT” (eat your treat)
Practice these steps a few times. In the next session, ask your dog to wait and balance the treat for 5sec. Each session go a couple of seconds longer until your dog can wait and balance the treat for 10sec.
That’s it! I’m encouraging everyone to give 10sec Trick n Treat a try.

I’m lucky in learning this trick because I don’t usually get a large treat.
Truly, a treat to learn this trick.

We're slowly working on this… Kirby is a master of looking like he'll let you put the treat on his nose, then reaching up and trying to snatch the treat! He's pretty sneaky. We hope as he gets a little older he'll be able to do this just like you!
Sugar,
I will try this but not sure how I am feelin bout a bone on my nose!! If I see that flashy box out when I am trying this, I am outta here!!
Great!! we have everything but the nanas!! I will have Mom get them tomorrow!

Great job, Sugar. The treat on my nose is something I haven't learned yet. Thank you for the tips.:)
Love,
Teddy Bear
Duke says he wants to learn patience and perseverance too. We'll have to try this trick. Thanks for sharing your tips Sugar, and your yummy recipe
The problem starts when mom tries to lay the treat on our noses! Our noses are always raised in the Aire trying to reach that treat! What the heck does "wait" mean?!
Love ya lots

This is a great trick! We had a foster dog once that had come to us as a stray, it wasn't until he was adopted that we found out he could do that trick–Who would teach a dog that and then not move heaven and earth to find him? But I was so disappointed because I could have been having fun doing that with him! THANKS for the recipe for the treats–It looks like an easy enough trick to make them!
) Have a wonderful weekend!!
Being a labrador that inhales food, we don't think that Shen will ever learn this trick. But we'll give it a go.
I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do this trick, BUT I am going to insist that my mom makes this treat!
Your pal, Pip
Logan's drooling just looking at those treats! Yum Yum!
Thanks for the recipe, sounds great! It's my first time visiting and you are so photogenic, Sugar. And I love your name
Thanks for that recipe-they look deeeelicious!
Your buddy,
Bocci
Fun! Cool photos and the recipe sounds great. I'll have to give it a try.
Happy weekend!

Dakota used to be able to do this trick. Mom says she will make these yummy treats for us if we will let her work with us to learn the balancing act. Thanks, pal.

AWWW!! What a sweetie! Our golden has the same look: gray around the nose and gentle eyes. I have 6 dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds AND pet sit extra. My home is a giant dog house!
Great trick!
Great treats!
Have a great weekend!
Smart & beautiful you are!
We are going to start working on your cookie trick, so we'll let you know how it's going.

Nice to meet you Sugar and for visiting our Blog. My humom copied your recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Oats Dog Treats and is going to make some for us today! Thank you, thank you….the only problem is Mack. He doesn't have a snout being a Pug and all. Maybe he'll have to learn the 10second trick with the treat on top of his head!
Come back and visit us soon and keep up the good work.
Drools and licks,
Minnie and Mack
I tried that with Riley last night. She was too busy trying to get the treat to let me put it on her head or nose. She lets me put it on her paw and leaves it til I release her. I told her stay and leave it for the treat on her head but she wasn't having any of that. We'll have to try again!
Elyse and Riley
I have not mastered the treat on the nose or head trick. I do leave it and take it real well with treats but as soon as mom gets a treat near my mouth I figure that;s where it's going. I confess that in spite of my two years I am still guilty of mouthing mom and dad not to mention all the licking.
I love your picture with the blog hop logo in it!
We sent you a picture of Kona my work dog doing to trick! Now If I could check all 5 of them to do it together.
Oh boy, another recipe! Your last one (the frosty paws) is our favorite, and I bet this will be the perfect winter alternative!
Mom says she is sending you a photo. I don't really have a nose, mind you, but it's my little variation on your 10 sec trick!!
