Tips to train a dog to Shake and Stay.

Hello friends, Today we will continue with the topic i.e Tips on how to train a pup at home. The command that we will cover today is Shake and Stay. These things at time gets a bit tricky. Lets start on with the topic today thats Shake.

Shake Hand
Dog has a natural instinct to raise a paw. In order to train a pup to shake hand. Grab a treat and hide in your fist. Let the pup sniff. Once the pup gets focused on your fist just place your fist below his muzzle or chin. Dog will eventually raise his paw to remove the treat from your hand.  Gently hold his paw and say shake and praise him with another treat. Remember do not use the same treat that was there in your hand. Praise the dog and pat him and continue the same thing again and again. Consistency is the key. After few more practice the pup will get an idea that in order to get the treat I have to raise the paw and then your done. Later follow the same procedure without a treat and for sure the pup will raise his paw once you take ur hand close to him.

Stay
Most of the pet parents think that this a tuff command to train a dog. However this command that is stay needs a lot of patience and practice. Firstly make the pup sits. Once the pup sits just take your hand in front of your pups nose and say stay. Move away from your pup maybe couple of step behind  make sure the pup is focused on you. Return back to the pup and praise him with the treat saying "Good boy or Good stay". Repeat the procedure again, follow the same thing again however this time try to get away from dog more than the first. If the dog doesn't move return back to the pup and praise him again. If any time during the practice you see dog is moving don't get irritated. Just go to the pup and make him sit and follow the same thing again. If the dogs show lack of interest try his favourite treats or train him some other time.

Folks, I hope this piece of information was useful if any doubt or any query do comment below would be happy to answer all of them. Thank you.
