How to teach your dog to shake hands
Firstly with your dog sat in front of you take hold of its right paw with your right hand, and lift up the paw gently, your dog may think this is strange at first but persist and tell your dog the words “shake” as you are lifting the paw.

Lift the paw all the way until it is level with the dog's chest and then shake it in your hand.
Repeat this performance six times a day for a few days and then try just say ing the word "shake" as you reach out for the paw. Don’t take it but simply see if the dog offers the paw.
If it does then praise the dog heavily. By holding a treat tightly cupped in your hand, you can encourage this behavior.
