I need to do my homework and watch the videos, read the books. |
Hmm.... does he know shake? Have you ever tried to gently just take his paw and say 'shake' and shake his paw? Jackson for some reason took forever to learn shake. It took me physically grabbing his paw gently and saying the word shake for a little over a week every night and finally he just caught on.
