Nadia finally learned "paw"/shake today! It took a long time for her for some reason.
Every time I balled my fist with a treat she'd get frustrated and plop down and stare at me sadly, or just keep nosing it. It took a while but I used some hotdog, and I balled my fist and kept encouraging her for several minutes until she finally pawed at it. I guess mom needed to be more patient last time!
In other news, she lost a tooth this morning while playing tug-of-war, so I finally have one I can keep! I was worried she'd swallow them all!
Ah congrats on finding a tooth! I stepped on one of Russ' and drove it into my heel!
ReplyDeleteI teach "shake" with the command "How do you meet people" Folks love it when you ask them that and they lift their paw to greet.
I've found a second tooth now, too!
DeleteI love that idea for shake, I might try to teach her that too! Right now she just knows "paw", and only with her left paw. I can't get her to lift the right one!
