After your dog knows the basics it is time for the pup to learn tricks. Great tricks include learning how to teach shake and the dog wave to your pup. We will go over how to teach shake and then dog wave step by step.
You should be consistent with your verbal commands when teaching any new tricks. As you learn how to teach shake you are going to start by saying shake, then you will take your dogs paw. After you do this, you will give him a treat. You are going to have to repeat this until your pup figures out that when you take his paw, it means a treat is coming his way. Before you know it, your pup will be volunteering his paw to you.
Try building on how to teach shake as you learn the dog wave command. You will learn the dog wave by implementing the shake command. Kneel in front of the pup and hold your hand out. Tell your pup to shake, but this time you are going to hold your hand a bit out of reach. When your pup lifts his paw in attempting to meet your hand you will tell him to wave and then give him a treat. Then just repeat this until he understands the dog wave command.
Your pup will be able to tell the difference between teaching shake and wave verbally with practice. Try to consistently try these tricks for just five minutes a day.
