Dahlia already gives her paw all the time, pre-command teaching or anything. She LOVES to put her paws on people. I still think it's one of the thing that saved her life at the shelter. She sits on the ground, puts one paw on you, balances herself, and then puts the other on you too. Adorable.
How do you build up their core muscles (I was wondering about that -- it seems like they'd have to be pretty strong to sit like that!). Is it just through "sitting pretty" for increasingly longer times?
I really need to start with clicker training. We've never used them, though I have a couple. I think that would really help but I've been too lazy to load it and too uncoordinated to use it. LOL
