How to Teach a Samoyed to Shake Hands

  Many pet dogs can shake hands with humans, such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Poodles, Pomeranians, Schnauzers, and so on. Dogs are not born knowing how to shake hands with people; it is through their owners' training that they gradually master the skills and methods of shaking hands. So, how should you train your lovely Samoyed, and how can you teach it to shake hands?

  [Training Key Points]: Have your Samoyed sit facing you, then use your right hand to tap its right paw. By the nature of the little Samoyed, it will extend its paw to scratch you. At this moment, you can take the opportunity to shake little Samoyed's paw, then give the "shake hands" command. Traditionally, say "hello, hello" while shaking the paw downwards, then give the "release" command to lower the Samoyed's paw. This completes the basic shaking hands action.

  Of course, the training process will not be so smooth. You need to control the Samoyed’s emotions and let it follow your steps during training, which is not an easy task. This requires the owner to find ways to stimulate the Samoyed's interest in training, keeping it enthusiastic to complete the handshake training.

  Therefore, before training, you can interact and communicate with your Samoyed to stabilize its emotions. During training, occasionally pet it and give it some tasty treats as rewards to motivate little Samoyed's training enthusiasm. Note, after little Samoyed successfully completes an action, you can give some snacks as a reward. Of course, rewarding it does not mean spoiling it. If the Samoyed misbehaves or evades training, the owner should also show authority and properly criticize and educate it. (Source: PetsZone)
