How to teach your dog to high five, three easy steps

When you’re happy about something you may find yourself high-fiving one of your buddies. It’s time to get your dog in on the action too. Here is the way to train your dog how to high five:

1) Shake first

The saying goes that before you can run you have to walk. This situation isn’t any different. Before your dog can high five it will have to learn how to shake. In short you need to put your hand low, offer it to your dog and say “shake.” If the dog’s paw doesn’t move you can tap it lightly on the back of it to signal what you want then reward the dog with a treat once it obeys the command.

2) Want to take you higher

Now that the dog has the shake command down, it’s time to make a little adjustment. Start raising your hand a little higher and say "high five." Your dog should assume that since your hand is out, you want something similar to the shake command. When the dog reaches up and hits your hand, give it a treat and move it up a little more.

3) Standing

You will obviously need to alter this for how tall your dog actually is, but eventually you should be able to stand up and have him high five you that way. Never try to have the dog reach higher than it can comfortably. Always be sure to reward your dog and seriously, what’s a better way to celebrate a game-winning basket?

Testimonials

"I love Parakeets. I enjoy how small they are, but also how uniquely beautiful they can be for their tiny size. Mine, Buddy, was one who I purchased a few months back at Pets Plus. I was enamored when I first met him. He had light blue feathers, a white chest with black spots, a golden beak, as well as two little black eyes".....

"About a year ago Pets Plus sold me a Kitten, Stacey; and I have to say, that she is the most adorable thing ever created! She and I banter often, most of the time she is chasing me around the house, playfully swatting at my feet while I prepare dinner for my roommate and I.".....

"It should be duly noted that the services I received at Pets Plus was incredible. Never have I met such an adept, kind, and diligent staff at a pet store. The store was clean, even though there was that aroma of pets lingering throughout the air. What a comfortable feeling indeed though, it was! ".....

"About 3 months ago I purchased a puppy from Pets Plus, hoping that she would, in the cliche, become my "man's best friend," or in this case, woman's. I often work late into the evening, as I am an Insurance agent, meeting clients at any hour of the day. When I come home to see my gem, as I aptly named her, "Gem" after her princess-like attitude, she is always ready to greet me with hugs and kisses, or in the case of a puppy, little hops and licks.".....
