Abbie Waves Bye-Bye!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

dalnna · 01-13-2007, 04:32 PM

Guess what?!?!? I taught Abbie to wave bye-bye! She's learned it so well that now, whenever I tell her to sit she just automatically waves!!!!

So cute! My girl is so smart! Now, if I could just get her to come when I call her....hhhhmmmmm.

Oh my gosh, that sounds absolutely adorable!!!!!

LunasMomma · 01-13-2007, 08:28 PM

OH, how cute

!!!!! Wish I could see her!

Maybe instead of "come" we should all start saying "treat"

Tink's Mom · 01-13-2007, 09:06 PM

Treat!? Oh yeah, Tink has that one down. Doesn't know what she's supposed to do for it, but knows where they are kept. Little rascal!
But she an sit and she can shake your hand (kind of - you cant shake - just let her put her paw in your hand)

Tippy_Luvver · 01-19-2007, 04:55 PM

omg! how did u get her to do that? i got to teach my Tippy to do that. please tell me ur little secret

dalnna · 01-20-2007, 05:47 AM

It's so easy! You start by putting them in the sit position and then you hold a treat in your fist with it just barely showing. As soon as she puts her paw up to touch your hand to get to the treat, you praise and give it to her. You keep doing this, making her paw at your hand longer and longer each time before you praise and give the treat. After they know if the paw at your hand long enough, they'll get the treat, you start moving the treat far enough away that they can't touch your hand while they stay seated. This is the tough part because some dogs will want to get up to get to your hand. You just have to make them sit again. Before you know it, they will "paw" the air which looks just like a bye-bye wave! You don't have to give treats after awhile. Whenever I tell Abbie to sit now, she just automatically waves bye-bye! It's so cute though when someone is leaving and I tell her to sit down and tell so and so bye

for now! I'll try to figure out had to put a video on here later today if I have time. Good Luck! Let me know how it goes!

lexi can do that, but its not bye bye, its high five for her... its so cute..
i say hi five lexi and she raises her paw... everyone i know is amazed by it.

For coming when called...try hiding from her and call her. She'll be curious as to what you're doing...if she finds you, give her a treat. You'll need to call a couple of times depending on how far away from her you are...This worked for Winnie. She thinks it's a game.
