Its a commonly held myth that people with well trained dogs are lucky, it involves no luck at all unfortunately, just hard work, the harder you work, the luckier you get. jackson has well trained dogs because thats how she trains them.
As for giving paw its each to their own as you say Sue. as for whether serious dog trainers teach a dog to give a paw, some do, some don't, I suppose I would be classed as a serious dog trainer as I train and compete in competition, i don't train it, but for no other reason than I'm busy training other exercises.
