Train to Give Paw? My yorkie knows how to sit but now I want to train him to give me his paw. How do I do this? So far I have just been telling him to sit and I grab his paw and say give me paw. Is there another way of training him to give me his paw? |
That is exactly how we taught our girls, except for we say "give me five"....it took lots of doing that but one day they just caught on!!! Now they can do it no problem... |

Tiger took puppy training and they refer that as "SHAKE" for shake hands. When I tell him to shake, he puts up his paw and waits for you to shake it. It took me 2 days of training and then suddenly EUREKA he got it. Now, whenever you say sit then shake, he does it all the time. . . |
I guess terminology is minor as long as you keep it consistant. We say "handshake". After repeating for 5 minutes or so, Aggie will lift her paw in mid-air, waiting for "handshake" and then her treat. It cracks me up :D :D |
Thanks for the help. I will try it. |
You can hold on the treat and let your puppy try to eat it. Don't release the treat until your puppy lifts his or hers paw onto your hands then you let go of the treat for your puppy. Keep doing that and she they will get it. But you must also repeat the command. After time you don't even have to say it they will just do it. |
I have been trying to get Pippa to give her paw for god knows how long but she just wont. She sits and lays down but no paw!! My friend has a blue merle collie and she can wave on command, jump thru a hoop, turn around, and more and she's only 1yr old. it is fab to see :D |
Both Alfie and Lottie will give a paw on commmand and what we did was hold a treat in your clenched hand in front of them and when they paw it click and treat then start adding in the command paw and it goes from there just dont open your hand until a paw goes up , then we started holding the hand up higher for a high 5 and repeat the high 5 command for this.just try it a few times a day and they start to get it good luck |
Great suggestions. I will try them. |
My little guy and I just learned this in training school last week. The easiest way is to use the clicker method. Have him/her sit and then say "paw" and gently lift the pad of the paw, click, then treat. My yorkie caught on very quickly! Now I just put my hand out and say paw and he knows what to do :) |

Puppies are cute. I was teaching my to "sit," and would give him a treat. Now, because puppies never miss a thing, every time he thinks I have something he can eat - he runs over to me and sits without me telling him to. (I keep telling him that he is supposed to wait until I tell him to "sit," not just do it on his own.) Carol Jean |

Anyone who calls my house learns that Skylar insists on getting my attention to give her five. She is left-pawed and will wave that paw til I give her five. Have to do it a few times and then tell her "enough"..They really do get our number quickly, huh?? |
