Instructions

    • 1

      Find an area with a hardwood floor or other hard surface. You cannot walk the dog on carpet.

    • 2

      Wind the yo-yo string all the way around its axis and put the string loop around the middle finger of your dominant hand.

    • 3

      Grip the yo-yo in the open palm of this hand with your palm facing upward and bend your arm at the elbow, bringing the yo-yo towards you as if you are trying to make a muscle.

    • 4

      Bring the arm back down with a snap and let the yo-yo roll off your fingers. Turn your hand so the palm faces downward when the yo-yo is completely off your hand.

    • 5

      Lower the yo-yo gently until it is barely touching the hard floor. As the yo-yo continues to spin, let it roll forward along the floor as if you are walking a dog.

    • 6

      Pull the yo-yo right back into your hand before it stops rolling.

Tips & Warnings

  • Don't let the dog walk too long before yanking the yo-yo back up or the yo-yo won't return to you.

  • Don't attempt this trick on bumpy surfaces such as driveways. The trick won't look right if you do, and you could scratch up your yo-yo.
