Fractions = Trouble! (2011)
“5 Sit. Stay. Roll over. Shake paws. Those were the tricks people taught their dogs. Wilson decided to start with shaking paws.
He took Pip out of her cage and placed her on his bed.
“Pip,” he said. “Shake!”
Then he took her little paw and shook it.
He did it a few more times so she would get the idea and learn what the command sounded like. Each time, he said it slowly and clearly: “Sh-ake!”
He knew he was forgetting something. Oh, he needed to have treats, to reward her whenever she did it rig...ht.
Into her cage Pip went. Wilson ran down to the kitchen, grabbed a plastic bag of baby carrots, and ran back.
This time he offered Pip a nibble of a carrot right after he shook her paw.
“Shake!”
He shook her paw.
He gave her a nibble of carrot.
“Shake!”
He shook her paw again and gave her another nibble of carrot.
But Pip never offered him her paw, and that was what the trick was all about. The trick wasn’t shaking hands with a hamster. The trick was getting the hamster to shake hands with you.MoreLess
