Hi all, I'm trying to teach my dog Phoebe a few tricks, she knows come and sit right now. I taught her give paw but she seemed to have picked up that she should lick my hand and then put her paw there which I do not want, how can I correct this?
Should I hold her face forward so she cannot lick me and let her put her paw in my hand or say NO any time she tries it?
I've also been trying to teach her 'stay' and having no luck at all. As soon as I say 'stay' she will run up to my feet and lay on her stomach, before I even take a step backwards. I have her sit first and then put my palm up towards her and give the command, even though I say NO when she does this it hasn't discouraged her from doing it the next time.
