How To Train A Dog Shake
Introduction
Teaching your dog to shake hands is an easy trick that can also help you bond with him. Most dogs like to paw at things and will naturally use their paws while trying to get your attention by pawing at you. Shaking hands is not only a fun trick, but it is also a great way for them to show they are friendly and happy. It can also be used in place of jumping up on someone when greeting people because the dog learns to reach out his paw instead.

How To Train A Dog Shake
Training your dog is important because it helps you to control the dog and keep him from getting in trouble. If you have a trained dog and he does something wrong, then he will understand that this is wrong and not do it again. The goal of training is for your pet to obey all of your commands such as sitting, standing or walking on a leash.
You can enroll your dog into an obedience class where they will learn how to follow basic commands like sit or shake hands with humans. The classes are generally held at local parks so people can bring their pets for lessons with other dogs and trainers.
Step 1 — Appealing to his nose
The first step in teaching your dog to shake is to appeal to his nose. While there are several ways you can do this, the most effective method is positive reinforcement. This means giving him something he likes when he does what you want him to do.
For example: If you want your dog to sit and lay down, reward him with a treat or affection when they complete the task. You could also use negative punishment by withholding something they enjoy such as food or playtime if they disobey orders (like jumping on people).
When using this method it’s important that you give praise immediately after completing a behavior correctly; otherwise your dog will not associate the good feeling with what he did right!
Step 2 — Practice at home
Now that your dog is used to the command and hand signal, it’s time to practice at home. This will help you get better at giving the command and hand signal in different locations. It will also help you be more familiar with giving the command and hand signal when there are distractions around, like other people or pets.
You can even practice with different people who have never seen Shake before, as well as dogs who may not be familiar with him yet. If he has a friend over for dinner and wants to play, try giving them each some treats so they’re both motivated by food!
Step 3 — Practicing the command in different locations
Once you’ve taught your dog to shake, it’s important to practice the command in different locations. You can use a variety of toys and props when training your dog. For example, you could use a special toy that only comes out when it’s time to learn new commands.
Practice in different settings as well: outside, inside, at the beach or park–even places like car rides and vet visits are great ways to train your dog! The more opportunities they have for practice with this wordless behavior, the better they’ll get at using it.
Step 4 — Training with distractions
- Train with distractions
Now that you’ve practiced teaching your dog shake in various locations and environments, it is time to take it one step further. When you are training any behavior, it is important to make sure that the training environment is as similar as possible to real-life situations. To this end, try training your dog in different locations, environments and situations to prepare them for all eventualities when out on walks or at the park.
Here are some examples of what you could do:
- Use a variety of toys (including those that squeak) during training sessions with your pooch so he learns how to react when there are other things around him causing distractions from his reward – praise and treats!
- Take him somewhere new every few days so he has time get used to being around other animals/people than just his owners/family members who may be feeding him treats every time they see each other out walking together every day! This way when someone else comes along when no one else is home during “free playtime” at home…they won’t know whether it’s okay yet because they haven’t seen anyone else giving him treats yet either LOL!!
Positive reinforcement can be used for many aspects of training.
Positive reinforcement is a type of training that uses rewards to encourage good behavior. It’s the most effective and humane way to train your dog, but positive reinforcement can also be used for many other things besides shaking hands or sitting. For example, if you want your dog to sleep in his crate at night, you can use positive reinforcement by giving him a treat whenever he goes into his crate willingly. This will encourage him to go into the crate on his own instead of forcing him into it with treats.
