After he understood shake and other shake I wanted him to learn high five and there be a difference in the two. Sometimes he just got super hyper and excited for a treat he would try to go through his tricks extra fast and he'd do both paws on shake. When he started doing this Jeff would put his hand straight up and say high five. After a while when he did it he just learned it to be high five. So now when we put our hand straight up he quickly stands up and puts high paws up and back down.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05036096689490434314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938250645421084675.post-9484063454565917452011-11-19T09:21:10.664-07:002011-11-19T09:21:10.664-07:00I taught him to shake first. I sat in front of him...I taught him to shake first. I sat in front of him and made him sit. Then I would take his paw (while he's learning always use the same paw, same phrase, and same gesture) I would put out palm flat and say shake. With my other hand I would pick up his paw and put it onto mine. Then I would say "good shake" and give him a treat. I would repeat this ... ummmm... about 5 times. Then I wouldn't help him and just say shake. The first day he didn't quite catch on but after a day or two of doing this he got it. Each day I would show him how less times. By the third day he knew that if he wanted a treat he had to give me his paw. It takes a lot of repetition. We would do this at least a couple times a day. Then when he understood we didn't give him a treat every time but just told him good dog or whatever.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05036096689490434314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938250645421084675.post-87104196365815302542011-11-18T23:05:23.567-07:002011-11-18T23:05:23.567-07:00How did you teach him to shake and high five?!?!
