How to Walk the Dog

  • Walking the Dog is one of the easiest beginning Yo-Yo tricks to learn, and can be one of the most fun to perform. Walking the Dog is achieved by letting the Yo-Yo's momentum pull it across the floor, with your strings acting as a leash to keep your Yo-Yo from running away. Once you know how to throw a Sleeper (see Here), Walking the Dog should be as easy as...well, walking your dog.
  • Here's how to Walk the Dog:


  1. Start by throwing a Sleeper.
  2. Gently lower your Yo-Yo until it touches the ground.
  3. Let the Yo-Yo roll forward along the floor.
  4. Raise the Yo-Yo back off the ground.
  5. Pull up on the string when you're ready to bring the dog home.
