Training Steps:
- Get Your Dog’s Attention: Have your dog sit. Hold a treat in your hand and let your dog see it.
- Introduce the Command: Say “Paw” while you gently lift one of your dog’s paws with your free hand. Some dogs may lift their paw naturally when you reach for it.
- Reward and Praise: As soon as your dog allows you to hold the paw or lifts it themselves, give them the treat and lots of praise.
- Practice Regularly: Repeat this exercise until your dog automatically lifts their paw when you say the command “Paw.”
