This is a fun trick to teach a rabbit and combine with other tricks. Such as getting them to spin in a circle three times then give a high five.
The goal here is to teach you rabbit to spin in a circle when you point or make a small gesture in the desired direction. You will need to train your rabbit to spin in both directions separately.

There are many different ways a bunny can jump. She can jump over a pole, through a hoop, onto a platform, or into a basket. This trick teaches your bunny to jump over a pole, but with some creative baby steps, jumping can easily be generalized to jumping in other situations.

For example rabbits often will stand on their hind legs to get a good look around. That can be used to get them to stand up. Click the instant he stands on his hind legs, then treat. Precise timing is important. If you miss the moment and you click too late or too early, you must still treat.
If he does the desired behavior and you miss it, it is better to not click at all than to click late. Clicker Training Basic Steps. Get the rabbit to do the behavior you want. Click the instant he does it.
Reward the rabbit with a treat he loves and praise. AFTER he reliably does the trick, add a cue voice or hand command so the rabbit knows the name or signal for the behavior you want him to do. Over time, slowly phase out the clicker and treats so he will do the action purely on command.
Never phase out the treats entirely. Always treat sometimes; otherwise he may quit the behavior. Adding the Cue. Give the cue just as the rabbit begins to do the behavior: cue at behavior, then click and treat.
