Teach Your Fido to Shake Paw

He'll find it fun to learn & it is going to help stretch his brainpower. Most dogs learn this quickly.
1. Receive a treat that is tiny to hold in your hand but keep hidden
from him when you close your finders.

2. Place your dog in a sit position on a non-slippery surface.

3. Gently tap his paws together with your free hand. Keep tapping it until they lifts
his paw off the ground.

4. As soon as this happens, support his paw in your hand & say "shake."
Then give him the treat & coo praise at him.

5. Repeat this process or times & then cease before either of you
get worn out.

6. Do this exercise a couple times a day for a few days before you expect company.

7. You can cease the teaching one time your dog lifts his paw to you when you say "Shake."

8. In case you need to teach to shake the other paw, use the same process but with a
different verbal command. Use "paw" or some other word.
