How to train a golden retriever to shake hands
First of all, determine the password corresponding to the handshake action. This password must be accurate and will not be confused with the passwords of other actions or commands to be trained in the future, such as: handshake . This slogan must be highlighted during training, and the voice must be clear. Then you can train in the following order.
Make sure that your Golden Retriever is a little hungry and wants to eat. Since he is participating in special learning, you should have something he likes to eat as a reward at any time. Find a place suitable for training, and feed your golden retriever a little bit first to boost his mood; this will also seduce your little golden retriever's greedy stomach, and he will be more motivated to learn after a while.
When you let your golden retriever finish eating once and maintain a fixed posture, start to guide the handshake action: approach or touch the dog's front legs with your hand, and it will usually make a leg-raising action. This is the handshake action. To get the prototype of a dog, approach its front legs while shouting the handshake command. If it lifts up, you can hold its legs, then release it, and wait for it to stabilize its posture before doing the next time. If it is waiting with its legs raised during practice, you can hold its hand and give it a little food as a reward.
When the Golden Retriever has a clear impression of the leg-raising action, no longer touch or approach it with your hands. Just shout the handshake command. If it lifts it, hold it and reward it with a little treat. Lift, shout a few more times. If you really don’t know how to lift your legs, you can shout the command and make touching movements at the same time to guide it. Like this, after a short time, you should be able to form the basic movements of a handshake.
