Method A
Step 1: With the dog standing facing you, bend down quickly and gently push
the dog in the chest so they take one step backwards. Say "back up". Step 2:
Click and reward. Step 3: Chances are, your dog will catch on to this very quickly
and after a few "pushes", you will be able to just slightly bend over and "pretend" to push them, saying "back up" and they
will take a step back to avoid the push. Step 4: Substitute in the fake push
for a "shooing" hand signal and repeat. Step 5: Gradually require the dog to take
more and more steps backwards before the click and reward.

Method B: Step 1: Have your dog sitting in front of
you, facing you. Step 2: Walk towards your dog. You dog will naturally try to
move backwards because you are getting too close to his space. Step 3: The moment
your dog moves backwards, say the word "BACK UP" (or click) and give your dog a treat. Step 4:
Practice and gradually have your dog to back up for a few more steps before saying the word BACK UP.

Method 4: Step 1:
Make a narrow channel, that has only 1 way in. Step 2: Led through it a couple of
times first without the end being blocked to make them comfortable with it Step 3:
Block the front end of the narrow channel. Step 4: Stand outside the channel and
lead your dog up the channel. Since the front openning is blocked, the only way out is for the dog to back
up. Step 5: Once your dog backs up, click and treat.

HINT for Method 2: If
your dog doesn't move backward "straightly", have something lined up on both sides of your dog (e.g. chairs) to guide your
dog so that he'd move backwards straightly.
