First, teach him to sit. Gently take hold of his paw while saying, "paw," or "shake." Choose the command that works best for you. While holding the paw, give him a treat. Repeat this several times until he is comfortable letting you hold his paw for 30 seconds or more. The next step is to get him to offer his paw instead of waiting for you to pick it up. Hold out your hand as if you are about to take his paw, and give his command. If he raises his paw, go ahead and take it and give him a reward. If he raises it and puts it in your hand, give him several treats in a row and lots of praise (this is called a "jackpot"). Eventually he will learn to put his paw in your hand when you give the command. It's easy to extend shaking to doing a "high five." Start with a dog who knows how to shake. Instead of giving your shake command, use a new one. I use "high five." Hold out your hand as if to shake, but instead of holding it palm up, hold it in the 'high five' position, but at the same height as you usually put your hand to shake. Odds are good he'll make a guess and put his paw on your hand. When he does, give lots of praise and a reward. Gradually raise your hand each time you do 'high five' and he'll learn to aim higher than he does with a shake.

Get ur dog to sit, then give it a small treat. Then pick up its paw and say in a firm voice, "Shake." Gently shake its paw. Repeat this over and over again until ur dog gets the idea.
When ur dog gets the idea...yay! great job. You can do this occasionally so ur dog doesn't lose practice.

Dont forget to reward ur dog w/ praise and treats.

they cant speak like normal humans do because they dont have vocal cords Of course not!!! Anyway, you first teach them to shake and then have them shake your hand but pull your hand away. They will magically wave!

Well it is possible. You have to train your dog though, very well, if your dog does know ''paw''', it might be easier for you, but if you say the words while doing it with your dog, it will come out very easy!

Good Luck!!

Will a dog learn shake or roll over faster?

To teach shake: Hold the treat in your hand and try to get the dog to paw at it, then give him the treat. Once he gets going on this then raise your hand gradually until he'll put his paw on your hand. To teach roll over: First teach the dog "sit" and "lie down". Then once he's lying down, bring the treat to his shoulder. He should turn his head to reach it. Keep him on the ground and GENTLY push him onto his side. Guide him through it and then praise him lavishly. Rolling over is a hard thing for some dominant dogs because it makes them very vulnerable, so be sure to praise him for it -san-is-my-hero-
