Hubby taught Hot Rod bang, so I can't offer any help there but for the shake, I kinda remember doing what you are, taking their paw into my hand. I taught them left and right paw. Just be patient, they will get it. I would only do the tricks that they knew and then add 1 maybe 2 (related ones) tricks and did this for about a week. I always went through the ones they knew a couple of times and then the new ones. Hope this helps. |
