How Do I Teach My Dog with Hand Signals?

Hand signals are fun to teach and easy for most dogs to understand. All you need to get started with your dog are a few kibbles of food. There are several ways to teach your dog hand signals. Below, you will find one such method: Click Here

The first thing to do is to get your dog to associate a hand gesture with one of your command words; see below for tips on how you can link a specific motion to a specific command. From there, getting your dog to react to the hand signal alone is a matter of repetition. 

Let’s assume that your dog already knows the association between a verbal command (“sit”) and the action you want him to perform (sitting). The next thing for you to do is to create a new association between an unfamiliar hand signal and the verbal command and action that he already knows. To get started, pair the verbal command with a hand signal (see below for examples of common hand signals). When the dog performs the correct action, immediately reinforce this behavior with a kibble. You will have to repeat this many times to ensure your dog understands the association. 

While still using the food reward, gradually eliminate the verbal command. For a while, you might use the verbal command and hand gesture together half the time and the hand gesture alone half the time.

Once your dog reliably reacts to the silent hand gesture when you have the food, gradually remove the piece of food from the equation. Soon your dog will sit, lie down or come with just a motion of your hand.

Beagle - The beagle is a breed of small hound that is similar in appearance to the much larger foxhound. The beagle is a scent hound, developed primarily for hunting hare (beagling). Possessing a great sense of smell and superior tracking instincts, the beagle is the primary breed used as detection dogs for prohibited agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. The beagle is intelligent. It is a popular pet due to its size, good temper, and a lack of inherited health problems.

50 Dog Training Myths That Drive Me F’ing Insane

I’ve had the pleasure of working with many animal trainers over the years, including one of the best animal behaviorists in Texas, Michael Baugh. Dog training myths, for some reason, run rampant.

And they drive me f’ing nuts.

Here’s the thing: Just because you read something on the internet (ha, ha) doesn’t make it true. Please feel free to fact-check this piece when you’re finished reading. Let me know if you think I got something wrong. Click here

Some dog training myths are merely annoying, but others can cause serious behavioral issues among our canine companions. And that needs to stop.

How Do Dog Training Myths Get Out of Control?

When you’re chatting with a friend over the phone and the subject of your dogs arises, your friend might say something like, “Oh, I heard that prong collars are the best way to stop pulling.”

A subtle jab at your pooch, who always seems to storm ahead like a locomotive.

You accept her advice as gospel because, well, she’s your friend. Then you tell other people who struggle with maintaining their dogs on walks.

Dog myths also get out of control when a so-called expert produces a YouTube video, writes an article, gives a speech, or otherwise spreads harmful messages.

That’s why you have to get in front of the rumors.

You can debunk dog training myths on your own by digging into the research. Start with scientific evidence. There’s plenty of literature out there about positive, modern, pain-free dog training methods.

What’s the Best Puppy or Dog Training Method?

There are hundreds of ways to train dogs. Many of them are super effective.

Rob Peladeau, a successful dog trainer who has worked with service animals, law enforcement K9s, and aggressive dogs, gave a wonderful speech during a Google talk. He says that the only thing three dog trainers can agree on is that the other two are wrong.
