Running Dog String Figure - Step by step
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 พ.ค. 2014
- Tutorial for "Running Dog" string figure shown from the users point of view - Explained step by step! Also called "Walking the Dog". This is a high difficulty string figure, so don't get too frustrated if you can't do it right away. I go through the demonstration twice in the video, so if you don't get it after the first explanation, keep watching until I run through it again. If I can do this, so can you!
The activity featured in this video is traditionally a middle school activity (age 13+).
As usual, my cat Rocky is here to help! Please give a thumbs up if you think I did a good job explaining, even if you have trouble (like I said, it's a very difficult figure!)
Please check out all my other string figure tutorials with cats cradle, Jacob's ladder, cup and saucer, etc. Some are easy, and others are more difficult. Have fun!

You're right I practice a lot and I can do this now
I am also
Thank you so much! You have helped me remember string shapes that I had forgotten I knew once upon a time ago. Now I can teach the grandkids some of my childhood, long car drive games!
Thank you!!! Your string tricks got me popular in school and got string tricks a trend!!!😊❤❤
I’ve never been so close to throwing my phone.
Queens Gamer same here
me too
Yeah, me too
Same dude
Me too, but approx 7 years later, I got it!! 🎉
I teach music at a preschool. I threw this trick into my lessons, and the kids just loved it!
It may not matter with the yarn you're using, but with other types of string it's helpful to position the knot at the start of the trick. I have found that if you start with the knot in the lower half of the string on the left hand side, it doesn't interfer with the making of the figure or it's action down the string.
Also, it's not necessary to reach into the triangle to pick up those two strings with the first two fingers. You can just reach down and pick them up anywhere. Makes that part a little easier. ;-)
It's fun to figure out how to reverse this trick, so that the dog runs from left to right.
Thanks for the video!
2020: remembering this from secoind grade
Learning during quarantine
Pretty much
Lol yeah
That's me alright but I never learned it in grade 2 in fact this is my first time
😅😅😅
@@alexiseaston14 I learned them in grade 5, but I forgot how to do them so here I AM
After 6 years of watching this video, I can finally do it!!!!
Thank you sooo much! I'm going to teach my students - I've wanted to do it for a while, but I couldn't remember how to do them - we spent so many hours enjoying this as children --thank you!
Thank you! It took me around an hour (I have a lot of spare time) but, I finally did it! My advice to others is to just keep trying until you get it! 😁
what a big fat lie I hate her
Heh I been trying for 1 year and gave up and now I’m trying again and I still can’t do it
@@towerhell_player9508took me 6 years to
My teacher in library at school she showed us your string videos and now I love doing string tricks
my teacher are you in moore miners elemntary school ??
+theghost reaper yeah why you go there??

Cool!

Cool
This is the one I can’t seem to do! I can’t get the part at around 3:50ish. Every time I need to let the top string of each thumb go it never looks like hers! 😩
A little tip is is to hold onto the string right in front of the thumb and then wiggle your thumbs while holding on. Once you get the string of both thumb then hook back on to the remaining string. I would suggest this since it’s working for me when I did it like this and it makes it a lot easier.
It worked for me! I played the parts I didn't get a couple of times, and it worked!
Took me... many.. many times but I finally got it!!!
I finally got it!!!!!
I am by far the happiest person in the UNIVERSE!!!!!!!
your amazingly awesome. I've already learned Jacobs later and the cutting off fingers trick.
I think you're an excellent teacher!! This one is tricky indeed, but I got it eventually!
Please - if you know the "eyes" or "heart", please share!! I'm addicted to string figures now! :)
I have been working on this for a while and I have finally gotten it!
I love your videos there really fun to try out and very rewarding when you're able to do the harder ones! Thank you!
It took time and patience, but I can finally do it. And with a good speed too, so my friends are in awe of the complex moves but I am like nah, this is as easy as alphabets.
I FINALLY got it!!!!!!!!! thanks!
Got it the third time it’s AWSOME love these videos so much learning some lit string tricks!
Loves the dog..... Loves the dog
I love the way she said that!
Thank you! You really explained that difficult figure very well! I got the dog the first time I tried. Now I want to memorize it.
How!?? Im raging so hard I cannot do it no matter what!
Bella Winget did you figure it out? I keep messing up and I’m not sure how
@@shelbyteague7928 No I kind of gave up. Also I have a permanent knot in my yarn now (Sorry I'm replying so late I just went through my email today)
Made it first time!! Excellent tutorial!
Wow, I didn't even notice how late I stayed up learning to do this. But the dog is so cute and is definitely worth figuring out! Thank you for this video, I can't wait to show my sister this tommorow morning. :)
nice video ☺ . But very difficult step😰 I have tried so many times but can't make it 😥😥 And I liked your all video 😊😊😊
ohhhh now I can made it☺☺. l am so glad but it is not looking too good like your mom😆😆😆
Oof, shes a legend I cant do it
your cat LOVES the dog OMGosh
Really cool! Did it first try! Thanks for the tutorial!
Mine looks more like a lama but I think I can deal with it B-)
Tyshe you did it?!
okay i watched this and screamed at the part where you "hang it over your GRUBBY hands" CANT DO IT!!!
How fun... Navajo Indian here so I've been playing string games all my life... did this one easily my first try! 😊
Do you have any other string games? My daughter is into this now and I am trying to learn more for her.
Thank you for posting all of these fun and intuitive string tricks! They have become one of my favorite pastimes. Could you by any chance post a video on a string trick illustrating the steps of the mitotic cell division? We have learned this in biology class, and I wish to perform it for the class. I got the idea from a Japanese professor who used string tricks to teach cell division for his students. However, I am unable to find the tutorial anywhere. Plus, your style of teaching would make it easier and clearer to learn. Thanks:)
String Bean Wow, I have never even heard of this, but it sounds awesome. I'll see if I can find anything about it.
Wow, you are so awesome. This is so hard. I would be so impressed with myself if I can just do this, even if it is just once.
I love your cat and u did a really great job .
Never never never ever will this work I’ve tried 13 times but I will do this
Thanks I really wanted to do it but the video I found was not good for me because it didn't talk so thank you for teaching me how to do this I enjoyed this video very much I also love your other videos very much I hope you make more bye bye
Beautiful kitty
I can't believe I managed to finally do it!
I had alot of fun, LOVE YOUR IDEA, !
Your cat is so cute!
thank you so much i will never forget you thank you again😊😊😊😊😇
I have tried many times for the past four or five days, but I JUST CAN'T GET IT!!!! I know you explain it VERY well, thank you, and I've seen the whole video SO much, I have memorized the whole process. yet, I CAN NOT do it! The most difficult part for me is grabbing the triangle with your index and middle finger. It is also hard to slip the first string off your right thumb, but the second string on your left. please help!
How in the world did people ever figure out how to do this! Great video!!!
Truly amazing and fun! love it😉
i loved it. Its a bit hard but still i loved it after several attempts i finally made it
Omg ur so talented and smart! I can do all these thank to u :) thank u
Ps. Rocky is so cute 😘😋😊😇
Yay Angelina finally got it so exited
I have tried 30 times and it still doesn't work 🙄
+Mookie lol This one is really hard, Mookie. Don't give up.
Same
+K B im 9, I tried alot and now ive got it
+MomsMinivan it took me 4 months but I finally have it 😀

i have learned many things from your tutorials
diomand hammock
square hammock
running rabbit
and learning running dog
i have learned cats cradle and cats cradle solo..
I just realised my string was way too short, but I still managed to get the dog!
thank you!, love your cat!
You are so great i liked all your videos and i succesfully made all things that you posted on you tube leaving spider
Finally i got it! Thanks x
You explained it very well
Omg in the first view on mums minivan so cool
Good job! LOL
+MomsMinivan iO AMIGA
TUDO BΕΜ
Uggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!! It is soooooooooooooooooooooo hard
I can't really find the triangle...
I'm not using yarn I'm using this tougher rainbow-colored cat's cradle string. Is that why? (The tough part, not the rainbow-colored part.)
I looked at how the triangle was formed in your video and used those strings and distorted it into a blobby shape so I can slide my fingers in. I tried multiple times so either I did it wrong each time or I did it right.
Except then the dog is smooshed. I can't make it out at all (I can still slide it though, yay for that!). And when I try to tug it back to slide it again it gets stuck.
Any tips? Should I just try getting yarn somewhere? Are big hands needed or something?
But thanks for explaining it so well!
Wow! You made it ez for me .I took three chances to do.( Oh ya and I am Saanika. I am 9 years old)
I think your videos are great - it's nice to have a challenge to work at - all the more rewarding when you get it right!
Thanks Matt! You are right that it's worth it on a harder one when you finally get it. Thanks for watching.
***** Can u do a bat I think that it would be pretty cool!!!
That cat is adorable
I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!
I've tried this several times, and I finally could do it!
Very well explained tutorial
Thanks!
You are so awesome. Just plain awesome. Extremely awesome! You inspired me to make up one of my own string figures! Thanks for going through a second time in the video. It really help me get this down. This is probably my favorite string figure, beside the rabbit (which I learned from your video, too!). :D
Do you have any tricks to unravel it at the end without it be becoming a huge knot? Thanks for posting these videos!
Hello MomsMinivian! I love your wire figures!!! Thank you! Please tell me which wire, or rope you use? Tried it with twine, wool and some other places, but none is as your! Gratitude!
This was the second string thing i did and my first was cats cradle and i did it on my second attempt!
There isa part i get stuck on but when i figure it out i can do it really well!
The cat is soooo cute!!! ❤❤❤
You are the the best even though I can do it
I did it, but when I wanna open and untangle the string into the initial loop it ties itself into a complex knot - which part should I tug on when untangling
Your cat is soooo cute😘😘😘
Good job MomsMinivan ;)
Thanks Cesar!
***** Who taught you?
Once you have done it once, it gets much easier and you can do it very fast
Thank you so much!!!
Rocky is sooooo cute
Can you make dragons.?
I wish
No
Took a couple of tries but I did it!:)
You can also make it a running cat which actually looks better! To do this, at the difficult part just make sure you decrease the size of the ears by pulling some strings (difficult to explain) and then at the end the body is a tad longer and so is the tail. It makes quite a nice cat :o)
i finally got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this very well it is very easy
I did it! So cool!
Man, the satisfaction when you finally did it
My lil dog is a clump of string
So that's good
Maddie Way lol same
Maddie Way iii
saaaaame
it's really awesome I got it
So many cool moves
Omg i got it first try!!
Thank you so much
I watched every video of yours and this is the only one I can't do
+monelle basically you can see the gap beetween the tail and the ear. let go of your left hand but dont pull, put you fingers from your left hand in that gap, let go of your right hand then pull in that gap. sorry if this makes no sense!
+Kalida Alnajjar change left hand to right hand and right hand to left
Hey, my dog does not form any ears or a tail, I have tried it 30 times but the ears get tangled up and look messy, also, he always gets only one leg. Can you help me?
Confuzed
the first time I did it it was useless but with determination I did it thanks
Where did you get your string I can't find string like that
I tried doing this and I only got the tail and a little bit of the back foot.😂
Where did you buy the string🤔please tell me
What type of string do you use for making these string figures?I tried using knitting wool but it hurts between the fingers.All your videos are amazing and I have watched almost all of them.
It's just a very inexpensive plain yarn for knitting, nothing fancy. I don't think it's wool. It probably cost less than $2 for a whole big ball of it.
Thanks
Nevermind I got it! Is there a way to undo it without the string getting tangled???
i know right!!!!
How do you undo it without making a big knot in your string?
HOW DO YOU DO THIS!??!?!?!??!? I keep trying but i get messed up when you have to take the string from your thumb off :(
