"Were going to teach um, to do a wave and the end product of the wave looks like this. Wave. Good girl. That?s a very exuberant wave. How you start is, you need to get your foundation of the shake and the high five. Our shake looks like this, which we have a very excited dog to do this and our high five would be the change of the hand position. Once you are getting a really good high five, you start by telling him high five. Good dog, treat. Then you would start with the high five, but take your hand away. So now you have what is the beginning of the wave. I would do it again, good girl. Now once she is doing it on a regular basis, I can tell her to wave by putting my hand up and taking it to away. Good girl. To get a little bit longer of a wave, I can wave, wave. Good girl, so now I am getting a little bit more of a structured wave. In order to get a really clear hand signal you can start changing it up by, wave, putting a little crink in it. Now we have a dog that waves with both hands."

"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."

We are going to teach our dogs to shake and how you start shake is basically is to get your dog in the sit position. All you want to do is get their hand or their paw I should say, into your hand so they start realizing that's what you want. So get her into the sit. Good girl and I just want to pick up the hand and tell her good girl, give her a treat. The next progression to this would be to actually start helping her out by tapping her and you want to see the foot kind of lift. I want to tap her a little bit, see if she lifts that foot up. Once she?s doing it on a regular basis almost offering it to me, I am going to give her a little help. Good girl. Get your mark word in there, which is your good girl. Yeah we got some slobber going. Now I can add the word shake on to it. So now I can put my hand signal which is the flat palm and ask her to shake. Good girl, and we got a little spook going on over here. I want to ask her, shake, give her her hand signal. Good girl, give her her treat and I can let her hand go. Shake one more time, now we got the other hand and let it go. You can mess around with that and two different hands, give me the other one. Good girl, and that?s how you teach them to shake.

If I wanted her to touch, Micha touch, I would ask for a touch with the hand. Now I want with feet so I'm going to tell her target. And because, good girl, she is fairly new at it we got to encourage her a little bit which is put the treat on the Frisbee so where she starts getting interested in the Frisbee. Once she's got her interest on it, now I want her feet to touch it. So I'm going to help her out and tell her target. Good girl, and give her a treat for it. Once she's targeting you can start getting creative with it and target! And we'll give our old lady some time to think about it. Target! And hide the Cheese Whiz which is what she's following.
