I had some pemmican that Cindy makes, and it is really small pieces, so I used those, but he seemed more interested in food, not "give me paw!"  I will have to check out the treats from Petsmart next time I go. I used tiny pieces of cheese to teach him to sit, maybe I should try that tomorrow. Thanks again for the tips. I will let you know how "shake" goes tomorrow.  |
HE DID IT!
Last night I keep picking up Louis' paw and saying "give me paw" over and over. This morning I lightly touched by his tonail and said "give me paw" and he did it. Now I don't even have to touch his paw, I just say "give me paw" and he does it!
He even does it when we were playing fetch with one of his toys. Every time he brought the toy back to me I would say give me paw and he does! I am so excited. I figure I will keep doing this for about a week before I move to the next trick. I think I will try "lay down" next. What do you think? Thanks again for your training tips!
