Teaching the Crawl

Crawling is a fun and functional behavior that builds body awareness and control. It requires your dog to move intentionally while staying low to the ground. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to shape the crawl using food and clear movement patterns.

What You’ll Need:

  • High-value food

  • A smooth surface (avoid carpet or rough textures)

  • Low object or hand signal to guide them forward
