Hey I saw your dog's 1 year birthday video and was wondering the process you used to training your dog to hop onto your back. I live in an apartment that doesn't have an elevator and I'd like to train my puppy to be comfortable in a fireman's carry. He's small enough that I can carry him up and down the stairs but he is definitely going to be a big boy! I know people who own Great Danes use the fireman's as do military working dog handlers, so if you have any tips I'd greatly appreciate it :3
How big is your dog? I would not recommend this trick to go down stairs. Especially with a great dane. Since he is just a puppy you definitely do not want him jumping as this can lead to joint problems. Its not a recommended trick for large dogs. I do not know what you mean by fireman's carry, but if that is some sort of bag you can definitely train a dog to go in to a bag without jumping.
