Training Time is Fun Time: Once you've reviewed the Training Primer see if you can start training your puppy or dog this fun trick!
Our goal is for your dog to offer his paw when you extend your hand toward him, ending in a hand/paw shake.
Start with your dog in a sit.
Lure his body weight toward his left side (but not so much that he gets up).
This should cause his right paw to come up off the ground.
When you see this say “Yes” and treat.
When his foot is raised gently place your fingers under his paw.
Once your dog's done this a few times with a treat in your luring hand, see if you can:
remove the lure
use the same hand gesture but with no food in your hand
as dog lifts his leg
say "Yes" and give treat out of your other hand
