Handshaking is the first lesson of dog training, which is a basic training that is very simple: as long as the dog owner extends their hand to the dog’s feet, it will actively shake hands with the owner. The handshake game has only one simple purpose, which is that the dog owner must make the dog understand that “handshake=lifting the foot” or “reaching out=lifting the foot” is so simple.
1. First, let the dog sit facing its owner. Then the owner grabbed a snack with one hand and spread it open on the floor with the other.
2. After the dog sits down, the owner says “shake hands” to it and lightly taps one of its front feet. If the dog naturally lifts its front foot, you should take the opportunity to grip the dog’s front foot. Don’t forget to give your dog a snack reward at this time.
3. What if the dog doesn’t respond? Boss, be more flexible. Can you move your fingers to attract the dog’s attention. Once the dog reaches out its paw and touches your hand, reward the dog with snacks.
4. Please leave your hands slightly off the ground and repeat the training process. Of course, once the dog completes the handshake, you need to continue feeding the dog snacks, otherwise it won’t do it.
5. Now you can gradually raise your hands and finally reach a satisfactory height. Alright, it’s okay too. Handshake training is very simple. Generally, smarter dogs can master it in just over ten minutes; A clumsy dog only needs 1 or 2 hours. Then, just keep repeating this process and slowly remove the snacks. Finally, when the dog hears the command, it will also take the initiative to shake hands.
