How to Train a Shetland to Handshake

How to practice Shetland handshake
Shetland Sheepdog (certain introduction)

I believe that most dog owners have done handshake training for dogs. Handshake training is not too difficult for dogs, and this action can also make the dog look more orderly and harmonious. For the smart Shetland, this action should be easy to master very quickly, so let’s briefly talk about how to practice Shetland’s handshake.

1. Prepare a necklace for the dog, find a safe training place, and let the dog learn to sit quietly opposite you before training.

2. After the dog sits down, the owner should face the dog standing. After getting ready, the owner can tap the dog's left front foot with his hand. Occasionally the dog will react. Lift your feet. If there is no response, the owner can grab the dog's paw and say "shake hands". Then he can wait for the opportunity to grab the pet dog's paws and say "shake hands." Shake twice at the same time, say "put it down" while putting down the dog's paw, and practice the other foot in the same way.

3. When the dog successfully completes this "handshake training", we might as well give it some praise. For example, pet it and give it some treats. This can better stimulate the dog's memory, make it conditioned, and develop the habit of "shaking hands".

The above is about Shetland’s handshake training. During the training, we should pay attention to the training time not being too long, but you can practice more and more times. When they perform well, they should be praised immediately, so that the dog will have higher initiative.
