I've managed to teach the new dog - a Poodle \ Schnauzer mix - how to sit and shake hands. Indeed she likes it so much she runs up to me when I get home, sits, and waves her paw in the air.
Granted, it's not the act she's fond of. Food is a strong motivator in that one.
A minor problem is she's so short and so fluffy that when I'm standing up it's not always obvious she's waving her little leg in the air, hoping for a cookie. Just a sort of cloud of gray fur, eddying around and emitting excited woof noises waaay down there by the floor.
