… but I can get the behavior reliably (especially for Zachary) if I warm them up first with a few shakes.
After that, they will continue to extend their paw toward my outstretched hand, whether we connect or not, so long as I reward them for the effort.
The effect, on camera, is something like a wave.
Zachary loves to show off this behavior, and shakes/waves with so much enthusiasm I was worried he might knock the light stands over!
(The tongue sticking out was purely luck. Whether good or bad depends on if you find it as funny as I do. Or not.)
Henry has the most expressive tail of any dog I've ever known.
He flips, flourishes, twists and twirls it as a constantly waving flag.
About the only time it stops wagging is when he's thinking really hard about something. :)
