Start in really small steps and don't rush it or he'll get confused. I would teach the command with either the nose or the paw first and wait until he knows it really solidly. And then start teaching the other with a different word - maybe "point" or "tag" or "get it." I would use the same process except use a different word and get your dog to use his paw.

I want to teach my dog to touch with both his nose and his paws ( he needs to learn to touch with his paws so that he can learn to open doors later on down the line) do you have anymore useful step by step techniques on how I go about training my dog to touch with his paw?

They all got it within minutes. Your step by step aproach is so helpful. Thanks. I tried this technique this morning with all three of my dogs. They all got it within minutes.

I can't believe I just now discovered it! I have a friend who has a very friendly 1 year old mutt that is slowly but surely learning how to behave better around people. I've forwarded your site to her. Sadly I can't have a dog in my current apartment but hopefully soon! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood and love to watch my neighbors pets. Your dogs like so much fun! :) Hey, great blog Lindsay! I can’t believe I just now discovered it!

She will not come back until she wants to. I am going to try the "touch" method starting today. Oh, by the way she has 6 puppies (AKC) 3 weeks old so maybe it isn't a good time to start. Oh, well , I am going to anyway. lol. Thanks for the info. I have a very disobident black cocker spaniel when it comes to running from me. She will not come back until she wants to.
