How do i teach my dog to shake my hand?

Question

she can jump onto me when i tap my thighs, she can sit and is extremely well behaved.

Answer 1

sit her down and then say 'paw' and hold out your hand, when she doesn't do it tap her paw, and repeat 'paw', when she doesn't do it lift up her paw gently and sayagain 'paw', then give her a treat. repeat the process and eventually she will learn that when you tap her paw you want her to lift it up, then eventually after that she will learn that when you say 'paw' it means the same thing, and she gets a treat, my dog learnt this in a day

good luck =]

Answer 2

make her sit, then pick up her paw that you want to shake and say shake and shake her paw then let go repeat and give a treat every time do this for about 10 minutes daily

Answer 3

Make her sit, grab her paw and say SHAKE. Then shake her had hand and let go. She will eventually get it. When she does give her a treat. Just be patient with her.

Answer 4

well you can use the method the other people told you which is picking up her paw then rewarding her. if not you can try:

hiding a small smelly piece of treat (liver works best) in your fist. put it infront of her, usually most dogs will use their nose and try to dig it out, after a while, they'll start to paw at your hand, the moment the paw comes in contact with your hand, you open your fist and reward. once she's pawing your hand reliably, you can introduce the verbal command.

either that or you can take a smelly treat, have her sit then put the treat very close to her nose and lure her to her left, her right paw will naturally be raised catch her paw once it's off the ground then treat and praise. lure her to her right if you want her to skahe her left paw.

after she learns shake, you can teach her to shake right paw when you offer  your left hand and vice versa. then you can progress to high 5!

Answer 5

She is well behave and I know she will listen and obey you. You can teach them by hand signals. Put your hand near her for at least 3 times a day and say "Shake, (name of puppy) come on". Or you can try to give them words like Shake hand but you also have to give them the hand signal.

If this doesn't work, search Yahoo! on anything like "How to teach a puppy to shake hand" or something like that. You can also order/buy a manual on training dogs and puppies.

Answer 6

Put her at a sit, and then at the same time you say shake, reach down and pick up her paw. Praise! Good shake! Good Girl!  Do it again. It won't be long before you can simply extend your hand and she'll put her paw in it.

Good luck!

Answer 7

make her sit, then kneel down and hold up her paw then say clearly "paw" and make a big fuss of her, give her a treat if she likes food as a reward, then keep repeating it (it may take a lot of goes, you have to have patience) until finally she places her paw into your hand without you touching it first, then make a huge fuss of her again. and treat her!
