Old English Sheepdog

  Teaching an Old English Sheepdog to shake hands is very easy with just a bit of training. During training, the owner can first have the dog sit facing them, then extend one hand toward the dog and give the command "Shake hands." If the Old English Sheepdog lifts one front paw, you should hold it and gently shake it while saying the command "Hello." The "Hello" command is both a reward for the dog and the necessary phrase during the handshake. If the dog does not lift its front paw after the command, you can gently push its shoulder, shifting its weight to the left front leg, while pressing and lifting its right front paw to shake it, encouraging with the "Hello" command and helping the dog maintain a good sitting posture.

  After some training, the Old English Sheepdog will become proficient. Whenever it hears the handshake command or sees someone extend a hand, it will quickly offer its paw to shake hands. Shaking hands is a way for owners and dogs to emotionally connect. The Old English Sheepdog is very willing to perform this action and will proactively offer its paw to shake hands when happy.
