Teach your dog new tricks, like how to high five with its paw. Learn how with expert tips on dog tricks in this free pet care and obedience video.



"The next thing we're going to teach him is high five. And to get the high five basically you have to have the foundation of shake. If you've got a good reliable shake, like this you can start switching it to a high-five. The difference between shake and high-five is just the hand position. So when you're very first teaching them, especially to a dog who knows shake, you want to tell them shake right off the bat so they know to give you their paw. Once you get three consecutive with the shake command we can start changing it in to the actual command that we're going to use which is high-five. So now that she understands that what want is her paw in my hand regardless of where it's at I can tell her "high-five, good girl." If I want to start, now she's offering it, when the dog offers the paw to you like that it means they're learning progressively fast. We want to try and switch hands with it so we'll get tricky and give her the other "high-five, good girl." We can get real tricky with it and do on each hand. "high-five, good girl." Do the other one, "high-five, good girl." That puts a little challenge to our high-fives."
