Puppy School Eastern Sydney – Puppy School Queens Park – Teach Wave

Puppy School Eastern Sydney: Wave

Eazy Dog Training Puppy School in Eastern Sydney, at Puppy Square in Queens Park runs on Monday nights at 6.30pm.

How to Teach Your Dog to ‘Wave’

  • For this trick you need solid ‘sit ‘ and ‘stay’ cues. Practise those first if you need to.
  • ‘Shake’ or ‘high five’ is also very helpful for learning this trick!
  • Get your dog to sit down and then place your hand in front of your dog. Reward him for any motion of his paw towards you. But remember to ensure he keeps his bottom on the ground. Repeat this until he is comfortable offering you his paw.
  • Then add a little bit of distance. Take a small step away from him and repeat above.
  • When this is going well, start fading out the use of your hand by removing it quickly. Your dog should be swiping the air.
  • Your dog should start to associate swiping the air with the appearance of your hand. At this point, you can add in the ‘wave ‘ verbal cue.
  • Gradually change your hand signal from an outstretched hand to an actual waving cue.
  • Now when you wave at your dog and ask him to ‘wave ‘ he should pick up his paw and wave back at you.
