Many dogs can learn this smart trick with very little prompting because they already instinctively use their paws to play with toys or get your attention. If your dog falls into that category, teaching your dog this trick should be very straight forward.
1. Teach your dog to target your hand with her paw for a treat.
2. Present your hand as a target in various positions untill you can hold your palm up, palm facing the dog with fingers toward the ceiling . Treat your dog for touching your hand with her paw.
3. Practice this untill your dog is quickly raising her paw when she sees your hand up.
4. Verbally label the behavior Hi5 when it is happening on a regular basis.
5. Add in distractions and work on having her do it with other people as well.
