Tips On The Use Of Dog Obedience Hand Signals

Many homes across American and around the world have dogs. It is a fact that more and more people love their dogs so much that they even consider them members of the family. No one to blame here, dogs are amazing creatures. But, what is about dogs that have every one going crazy for them? That is because; dogs can be easily trained, especially when using dog obedience hand signals.

When educating a dog with both spoken commands and with dog hand signals, frequently proper training is achieved in almost no time, particularly when the two of them are combined. There's a reason why this is accomplishable and it's because dogs are extremely good at reading body language.

Dog training hand signals are pleasurable to teach and easy to understand by most dogs. The very first thing to do is to associate your hand signals in gradual repetition then slowly disregard the verbal command. When you are training your pet, it is advisable that the primary command that you should teach is the sit technique.

And so, how do you teach your dog the sit command? It's in reality real easy. Foremost you need to make certain you have your dogs' tending 100% percent. To capture your dog's attention, you want to address your dog by his name. Ensure you only call his name once. If your dog does not pay attention to you when your call his name you might need to have a leash attach to your dog's collar to call his attention when you call his name. After you've your dog's attention, aim your index digit at your dog, simultaneously as you verbalize the command sit. If the dog doesn't comply, show your dog what you mean by placing him on the sit position; just push his rear end down to the floor, very gently.

The next basic command you need to train your dog is the down command. Please keep in mind that it is a little bit more difficult command for the dog to do, especially because when they are lying down on the floor dogs feel that they are lowering their guard, and some pets will just not want to do that, especially if they are super vigilant. There are several ways to teaching your dog the "down" command, but one of the most effective ones is to place a treat in front of his nose and bring the treat down to the floor as you say the word "down". Your dog will want to follow the treat and naturally end up on his belly.

Once your dog learn the sit and the down command, you're prepared to train him on the 'come' command. When doing this, you want to call his name first as you give the 'come' command. Whenever he comes near you right ahead, present him with a reward, but he is defiant, just pull his leash toward you at the same time you're calling his name and saying 'come'.

After your dog masters the spoken command for come, you can then start to train him in the come command by using dog hand signals. To do this bend your arm at the elbow, move backwards and bring your arm toward you in a sweeping motion, and say the command "come". If your dog won't come you might want to keep a treat in your hand, give the verbal and hand signal for the command and once your dog comes to you, give him tons of praises and the treat.
