How To Train A Dog To Give Paw
Introduction
If you’re looking for a clever, adorable trick to teach your dog, look no further! Teaching your dog how to give paw is easy and fun. After just a week or two of training, your dog will be able to impress all of the other dogs in the neighborhood with their new skill. Here’s how to do it:
Start by having the dog sit. Hold a treat in your hand and place it in front of the dog’s nose.
Start by having the dog sit. Hold a treat in your hand and place it in front of the dog’s nose. Let them sniff it for a few seconds, then bring the treat over the top of their head so that they look up at you. When they do this, their paws will naturally come up from their hips as well. Say “paw” as soon as you see this happening, then give them the treat and praise them enthusiastically for following through on your command!
Let the dog sniff it, then slowly start to move the treat up and over their head. The dog will naturally raise its paw to follow the treat.
Now that you have the dog sitting in front of you, place a treat on the floor. Let the dog sniff it, then slowly start to move the treat up and over their head. The dog will naturally raise its paw to follow the treat.
Once your dog has learned this trick, try it with two or three treats. A few more steps will help get your pooch ready for trick-training competition:
When the paw is raised enough, say “paw” and give the dog the treat.
When the paw is raised enough, say “paw” and give the dog the treat. Repeat until your dog learns how to lift his or her paw high enough to be given a treat. If your dog has trouble lifting his or her paw high enough in order for you to see it, try holding up higher treats so he or she will lift their paws higher.
If they don’t understand what you’re trying to do, they might stand up or lay down instead of just lifting their paw. When this happens, put them back in a sitting position and try again.

If the dog is still having trouble, try using a different command that might help them understand what’s wanted of them. For example, if “paw” isn’t working for your dog yet, try saying “up” instead; if that doesn’t work either, consider switching to another treat or toy.
Repeat these steps several times every day for about a week until you’re sure your dog understands what you want them to do when you say “paw”.
If a dog doesn’t understand the command, try again and repeat these steps several times every day for about a week until you’re sure your dog understands what you want them to do when you say “paw”. After that, they should be able to give paw on command without treats or having their paw held by you.
Once your dog knows how to give paw on command, you can phase out the treats and just use praise instead. This will help prevent obesity and build a deeper relationship between you and your dog.

You will need to work with your dog regularly but it is possible to teach them how to give paw. It will take some time, but the end result is worth it. You will need to be patient and consistent in order for your dog to learn how to give paw. If you are not consistent, your dog will not learn!
Conclusion
Teaching your dog to give paw is a fun way to build communication and trust between you and your furry friend. This skill can be useful in the future if you want to take them places where they won’t have access to their paws, like going into a vet or groomer without being strapped in with heavy equipment. It will also help them become more comfortable around other people since they won’t feel threatened by strangers coming up close because they’re confident that they can protect themselves on command.
