@JenRageify I did this with clicker training. I put a little piece of low tack masking tape on her head, between her eyes. Every time she would paw at it (which took some time, she really didn't mind the tape on her head lol) , I would click/treat. Once she figured out that I wanted her to paw at her face, I started adding the verbal command "are you shy" while clicking/giving the treat when she offered the movement/behavior I wanted. :)
Positive reinforcement is the ONLY way to train an Iggy. They're so sensitive. I love her!

Awwh, How'd you teach her that?
I would love for my dog to learn that. TOO cute!

@Lachri Oh wow! Thats perfect. I believe that should work with my pooch; She pretty much hates anything on her face, even small hairs.
Thanks for the tip! Should make for an adorable trick :D

She looks like she is really trying to please you. Mine would just try to muscle their way to the treats.

That is so cute! No matter how many kinds of treats i give my IG, he will never eat them until my other dog eats one first.
