This is my dog training tip of the day for today. It is a continuation of the last tip. In this video you will learn how to add a verbal cue to a behavior that you taught with a hand signal.

Step 2: Say the Verbal Cue BEFORE you move a muscle to do the Visual Cue Step 3: Put time between your new Verbal Cue and your Visual Cue. Wait the dog out and see …

    Helpful tip as usual! I get lazy and usually stop at the hand/body signal.

    I am not sure that Boogie is as smart as Kiko but thank you again Emily for another great tip!!! Now I know what I have been doing wrong (saying the verbal cue at the same time as giving the visual one). Going to try this! – Lili

    lol, too crummy. Great walkthrough on verbal cues, Emily! Super useful. :) I sometimes get so excited about teaching new tricks that I stop teaching at the hand signal and move on to the next trick, heheh. It looks wayyy cooler to do a visual cue! 5*s!

    Fantastic! I love Kiko and Splash… And it’s also very useful see what you do when the dog doesn’t respond to the cue!

    I actually didnt think about it! Then I though, what a weird random word to choose. It was going to be ‘hamster’ first… then ‘Obama’ came out.
