Shake Hands.

i learned how to shake hands today here are the steps #1 "With your dog sitting before you, hide a treat in your hand, low to the ground. Encourage your dog to paw at it by saying "get it" and "shake" Reward your dog with the treat the moment his or hers paw comes off the ground." #2 "Once he or she is able to do this with 75 percent success rate, up the ante and raise the height of your hand." #3 "Transition to using the hand signal. Stand up and hold the treat behind your back and extend your other hand while cuing "Shake" support his or hers paw in the air while you reward him or her with the treat behind your back. Remember to only reward him or her while he or she is in the correct position - with his or hers paw in your hand."

Sit!

iam going to learn how to Sit and you can to! just by looking at the video and reading my diary to Sit you need treats to reward your dog and heres how to make your dog Sit your dog sits on his or hers hindquarters and remains there until released. that's just nothing you need to know a bout but heres the real way of how to get your dog to Sit #1 "Stand or kneel in front of your dog, holding a treat in your hand a little higher than your dog`s head" that's the first level... #2 "Slowly lure his or hers head by moving the treat straight backwards towards his or hers tail. This should cause his or hers nose to point up and his or hers rear to drop. Some dogs may be squirmy, or may keep walking backward. If this happens, just keep moving the treat until your dog eventually sits. Sometimes it helps to start near a wall, so your dog cannot move too far back." #3 "The instant your dog`s rear touches the floor,release the treat. It is the timing of the release that will let your dog know the goal behavior." and that's how you train your dog to Sit! have fun and leave a comment if there's any thing wrong with learning it :) i hope you enjoy the trick!!!
