Steps to train a dog to shake hands

1. Use food to attract the dog’s attention.

2. Take the initiative to hold its paw, shout the handshake command, and then reward it with a mouthful of food.

3. Practice repeatedly until the dog will think of something to eat as soon as he hears the command, and then obediently reaches out his hand.

4. If things go on like this, the dog will shake hands as soon as he hears the handshake command.

Things to note when training

1. Train your dog when it is quiet, because it is difficult to get involved when it is excited.

2. Be sure to buy food or toys that the dog likes to lure the dog.

3. The best time to train a dog is when it is very young.

4. When you first start training, make sure there are no other big dogs or small dogs around, because your dog may attack them.
