Try this trick after you have mastered “shake!”.
The beginning of "High Five!"This girl should raise her hand higher so the dog will raise his paw to hers.
Have your dog sit.
Reach you hand like you would for “shake!”. When he reaches for your hand swing it around so your fingers are pointed up and say “High Five!” If he reaches up for your hand, give him a treat.
If he does it, do it once more to imprint the trick. If he doesn’t, try it 5 more times. Let him rest for at least 30 minutes.
Soon, he will lift her paw to high five when you ask her. When he high fives on command, reward with treats only one out of four times he does it. (Always use “good boy!” voice reward.
