How to Train a Bull Terrier to Shake Hands

  To train a Bull Terrier to shake hands is not really a difficult matter. Master certain training methods and techniques, and then train the Bull Terrier step by step every day. Believe that after a period of time, the Bull Terrier will obediently extend its paw to shake hands with you after you give the command.

  There are many methods and techniques to train a Bull Terrier; you can find the most suitable way based on the Bull Terrier’s personality and traits. Below is a method for training a Bull Terrier to shake hands for owners to refer to:

  We know the Bull Terrier has a special habit — it likes to scratch people. And when you scratch it, it will react quickly. Therefore, based on this characteristic, we can conduct targeted training.

  Use your hand to scratch the Bull Terrier’s head. Following its natural habit, the dog will actively raise one paw to touch its own head. At this moment, you can seize the opportunity to hold its paw while giving the “shake hands” command and saying "shake hands" aloud, gently shaking the held paw.

  After shaking hands, release the paw. At this point, the owner should reward the Bull Terrier. Whether with verbal praise, gentle petting, or a tasty treat, choosing a form of reward to encourage the dog is very necessary.

  Training a Bull Terrier to shake hands is not something completed in one or two days. As an owner, you should prepare for the long haul, persistently training the dog every day so it can quickly learn the skill to shake hands with people.
