In this video, you can see Bo moving his back legs backwards when I give the command back up. When we started teaching the command, we used a food treat in our hand and lured him backwards with the treat. However, now he is responding with just the verbal command and hand signal.

Video: Bo Learning Back Up Command
This week we've been practicing the "back up" command with Bo. Helen taught us how to train Bo on this command during our weekly training session last Friday. I had asked Helen to teach this command because over the past few weeks, I kept finding myself in situations where I needed Bo to back-up from me in order to accomplish a task. When I was talking to Helen about this, I gave her the example of Bo being in front of the washing machine, dishwasher or freezer door when I needed to open them.
