For a comfortable existence in the human world, every dog needs to know only a couple of commands: to sit, next to me, to me. But if you want to please your pet with fun training and amaze the guests of your home not only with delicious treats and hospitality, but also with unusual entertainment, then you can learn a few completely simple, but effective tricks. The simplest trick that even the most inexperienced dog lover can teach is the “give your paw” command! For the full effect, you need to train the dog to feed not only the front, but also the hind legs, as well as come up with interesting names for the commands.
It is necessary to start teaching the dog commands from the moment the puppy appeared in your house. The command "give a paw" is not only entertaining, it is also useful in everyday life: after a walk with a dog that gives its paws, it is easier to perform hygienic procedures.

Treat for a dog
Instructions
Step 1
Place the dog in front of you. If the pet is not yet familiar with the “sit” command, you can sit it down by pressing your hand on the lower back, or by placing your hand with a piece of treats behind the dog's head.
Step 2
Say the command "give your paw" in a calm, even voice and gently take the dog's paw in your hand. Wait a couple of seconds and praise the dog, treat it with a treat. Make five attempts and take a couple of hours distracted, and then repeat the exercise again.
Step 3
Do not drag out your workouts. Puppies, like children, tire quickly. If you exercise too much, your dog will no longer perceive training as play and pleasure. Choose only your favorite dog treat for training, otherwise your pet will lose motivation and be distracted.
Step 4
The dog quickly realizes what they want from it and after two days of training, having heard the command, it will happily extend its paw to you. Once the dog has responded to the command, reward him generously with both voice and treats. Show that you are very happy. To feed the second paw, you can use the command "Give another" or "What else?"
Step 5
The feed of the hind legs is learned in the same way. Place the dog, say a new command you have invented and lift the dog's hind leg. Hold the paw in your hand for a while and praise the dog by treating it with a treat.
It may take more time for the dog to learn how to feed the hind leg, but a little patience and it will definitely work out.
