Dogs are the most loyal companions of human beings, and the happiest moment of living with them is to see them follow the commands and make adorable gestures. Today, we will share some simple and effective training techniques to teach your dog to learn the two basic commands of “sit” and “shake hands”.

 Teaching Your Dog to Sit
 1. Preparation - training place: choose a quiet, non-interference environment to improve the dog's attention. - Rewards: Prepare some of the dog's favorite snacks, as a training reward. 2.
2. Training Steps- Leading Action: Hold the snack in front of your dog's nose and slowly raise it upwards so that your dog naturally looks up at you. - Induce sit: When the dog looks up, his butt will naturally sit back. Immediately say “sit” and give him a treat as a reward. - Repeat: Practice this action several times to help your dog understand the “sit” command. Reward and praise your dog every time he gets it right. Advancement: When the success rate exceeds 80%, add hand signals (palm down movement) and gradually reduce the snacks.
3. Caution - Keep each training session to 5-10 minutes to avoid dog fatigue. - Keep patience, the training process may take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the dog's learning ability.

 Teaching Dogs to Shake Hands
1. Preparation - environment and rewards: as in the case of “sit” training, choose a quiet environment and a small snack. 2.
 2. Training steps - attract attention: let the dog sit, holding a snack in his hand, so that it will notice your hands. - Lead to shake hands: Gently lift one of your dog's front paw with one hand and say “shake hands” at the same time. - Reward: When your dog puts his paw in your hand, quickly give him a treat and praise him. - Repeat: Repeat this process several times so that your dog understands the command “shake hands” as he masters the movement. - Gradually release the assistance: When the dog is able to lift his front paws on his own, gradually reduce the assistance and rely on verbal commands and hand signals.
3. Caution - Maintain a pleasant tone of voice during training so that the dog can feel the joyful atmosphere. - If the dog does not respond clearly to the commands, try a different time or environment to make sure it stays relaxed.

Summarizing：
Dog training is a fun and loving process. After teaching your dog the basic commands “sit” and “shake hands”, you can gradually move on to more complex actions and commands. It is important to be patient and build a trusting relationship with your dog. Every success is worth celebrating because it's not just a training victory, it's a deepening of the bond between you and your dog.
I hope every dog owner can grow with their dog and enjoy happy times together! 🌟🐾
