It is most appropriate to start handshake training when your golden retriever feels hungry, or before feeding. You should choose to train during the time when the golden retriever is more energetic every day. If it is sleeping or doing other things, the golden retriever will not be able to concentrate on the training.
Training skills
Let the golden retriever sit in front of you and face you. Then the owner stretches out his hand and gives the command "shake hands." The golden retriever cannot understand it at first. After you give the command, grab one of its front paws and imitate the handshake action. . After repeated training, the dog can quickly form a conditioned reflex, and this is a very simple action, which is not difficult for golden retrievers.
Combined rewards
If the Golden Retriever can cooperate well, don’t forget to give some rewards. Rewards are an effective way to stimulate Golden Retriever to invest in training. Of course, as Golden Retriever gradually masters it, snack rewards should be gradually reduced and replaced with praise and praise.
Training a golden retriever to shake hands can generally be learned in one or two days, and it is even possible to learn it in one go. Of course, this is something that only a few can do. Dogs are still very obedient to the action of shaking hands, because they think shaking hands will make them very excited. When they hand their little paws to you, they are also showing goodwill to their owners!
