Tricks training is a wonderful activity to participate in with you and your dog. It is both mentally and physically enriching for your dog and it improves your skills as your dogs trainer. an easy trick that you can get started with would be paw, or some people refer to that as shake and what you want to make sure you do with tricks training is keep the training fun and positive for your dog. A good recommendation I'd like to give everyone is to resist the temptation to grab whenever training any behavior - you want them to think it through and in order for them to do that you need to break it down into small achievable steps so you're not necessarily looking for the end result you're looking for anything that's moving in the direction of that. So for paw I'm not going to grab at his feet because he might not like that he's also not using his brain if I'm doing the work for him so dogs if they often cannot get something with their mouth they use their feet so I'm going to put a treat right on Jack's nose and I'm going to have my hand ready when he tries to knock them out of my hand because he can't get them with his mouth and I'm just going to wait for that - I'm going to wait for any paw movement whatsoever - he moved his left paw just a little bit so that was a nice baby step - good I got a lot of movement out of the right one - I'm going to try again - good - I say the word good every time he does the behavior correctly and slowly it seems that I will be able to shake with his paw. The repetition of hearing the word good when his paw touches my paw so he makes that association. So now I think I'm ready to take the treats away - good - he ois still going to get one but I don't necessarily want to put them up front anymore and then we can work with a little duration so he can hold it there - oh beautiful - good and now that he's doing that readily if I'd like to put a verbal que on it I'm going to be able to say - Jack - paw - good - and now I've taught my dog to give paw.

"Dogs usually use their paws when they can't get something with their mouth"
My dog:*gives up and walks away*

[fum]

I taught my dog how to shake my hand and now he hits people when he wants something :/

[RVD_Gaming]

Nice video... now all I need is a dog.

[lizl]

So awesome! Thank you for this video. Wasn’t doing well trying to teach him on my own so I came on YouTube to look at tutorials and yours was straightforward and actually gave me results.

I have husky, I need something supernatural to beat his stubbornness. He is very smart but so stubborn it drives me crazy.

[alephoto]

That dog already knew how to give his paw :/

[brainyu]

Tried this on my 1yr old lab and my god I did not expect him to learn this fast 😭 I so proud of my boi and myself cuz it's my first time training him, usually my brother does it . Thank u sm howcast🥳 looking forward for more dog training vids..❤

[KaylaTotts]

So my dog just blankly stares at me while salivating everywhere. There's like 5 minutes of just awkward staring and him not getting it each time until I just decide to grab his paw myself and say good job... Help.

my chihuahua just bit half of my hand off.

I can't even start to explain how much you helped me!! I tried for a whole year to teach my dog and nothing worked and the second I watched your video it worked! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 💖

[FreakyNightmare]

This was great! My other chihuahua learned it in few seconds. The other one raped my hand..

[Eniramos]

I don't like how people pay to get their dogs trained. When you are training your dog you are building a relationship and communicating.

Omg ive been trying to teach my dog how to shake forever. And he learnt in under 15 minutes after watching this 2 minute video!! so grateful and really exciting to watch my dog get the hang of it

[scarlett]

Taught my dog this in 15 minutes ! At first he just slobbered over my hand and bum-shuffled instead of lifting his paw but I found changing the height/distance helped and soon enough he was doing it! Helpful video 👍

[jennyelliott]

That dog already new how to shake a paw! Dogs don't just do it perfectly in 2 tries

[averypatrick]

This worked so well my dog has never been to shake before but holding the treats tightly and waiting for the dog to use their paw to try to get the treat worked Thanks so much!

[tealeafwisdom]

I taught my dog to do the paw trick with this video successfully. Thank you👏🏻❤️
