Mike P. Yes, I use the paw and nose targeting with people and other animals. Start with paw targeting a target at a distance and slowly move it around and closer to the person as long as the dog is comfortable. At home practice paw targeting your shoes, family members shoes then take it on the road to strangers. When the dog is comfortable, switch to nose targeting a flat hand and finally have them food the dog. Feeding by the person is the among last step. Scratching under the chest is last.
