How to train Teddy to shake hands
Training a Teddy dog to shake hands is a fun and practical skill that not only enhances the interaction between the owner and the pet, but also improves the dog's obedience. The following is a detailed guide on Teddy handshake training that has been a hot topic on the Internet in the past 10 days. It combines structured data and practical tips to help you complete the training easily.
1. Preparation before training

| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| training time | 10-15 minutes a day, divided into 2-3 times |
| training location | Quiet, distraction-free environment |
| Required items | Snacks, toys, leash (optional) |
| Best time | Before meals or when your dog is emotionally stable |
2. Step-by-step training method
Step 1: Establish basic instructions
Keep Teddy in a sitting position, hold the snack in your right hand, tap his front paw with your left hand and give the "handshake" command. Reward your dog immediately when he lifts his paw.
| FAQ | solution |
|---|---|
| Dog doesn’t lift paw | Tickling its paw pads gently to induce movement |
| lack of concentration | Reduce environmental interference and use higher value rewards |
Step 2: Consolidate action memory
Repeat the training for 3 consecutive days, gradually reducing the snack induction and using only verbal commands and gestures (palms facing upwards). The success rate is over 80% to enter the next stage.
Step 3: Add hand-changing training
After Teddy masters the one-sided handshake, use the same method to train the other paw, using different commands for "left hand" and "right hand" respectively.
3. Training effect evaluation criteria
| training phase | Performance on target | Average time taken |
|---|---|---|
| Early stage | Able to lift paws and touch palms | 3-5 days |
| medium term | Automatically extends its claws when commanded | 7-10 days |
| later stage | Distinguish between left and right hand commands | 2-3 weeks |
4. Precautions
1. Avoid training when your dog is tired
2. Give verbal praise at the end of each training session
3. The same family member is responsible for the main training
4. Maintain positive motivation during training and prohibit corporal punishment.
5. Suggestions for extended training
When Teddy has fully mastered the handshake skills, you can try the following advanced training:
- High Five
- spin in circles
- Play dead
These actions are based on basic obedience training and can further improve the dog's coordination ability.
According to recent pet-raising community survey data, about 82% of Teddy dogs can master handshake skills within 2 weeks. The key is to keep your training consistent and interesting. Remember that every dog learns at a different rate and patience is the most important training tool.
