Training time

It is most appropriate to start handshake training when your Border Collie feels hungry, or before feeding. You should choose to train during the time when the Border Collie is more energetic every day. If it is sleeping or doing other things, the Border Collie will not be able to concentrate on the training.

Training skills

Let the Border Collie sit in front of you and face you, and then the owner stretches out his hand and gives the command "shake hands". The Border Collie cannot understand it at first, so you have to give the command and grab one of its front paws, and Mimic a handshake. After repeated training, the dog can quickly form a conditioned reflex, and this is a very simple action, which is not difficult for the Border Collie.

Combining rewards

If the Border Collie can cooperate well, don’t forget to give some rewards. Rewards are an effective way to stimulate the Border Collie to invest in training. Of course, as the Border Collie gradually masters it, the snack rewards should be gradually reduced and replaced with praise and praise.

Training a border collie to shake hands can generally be learned in one or two days, and it is even possible to learn it in one go. Of course, this is something that only a few can do. Dogs are still very obedient to the action of shaking hands, because they think shaking hands will make them very excited. When they hand their little paws to you, they are also showing goodwill to their owners!
