Dog & Puppy Training

Dog training hand signals are very useful for several reasons: Canines are visually oriented animals and will understand hand signals for dogs very well. They can read your body language more easily than understand your spoken words.

Some training methods use cues that can then become the actual hand signal! This makes an easy transition from getting the behavior going to putting it under the control of a dog training hand command.

Dog hand signals are a great tool to use with deaf dogs as well as in obedience competition where verbal commands might not be heard or are not allowed. It is easier for dogs to understand a hand signal than a verbal command.

It is another way to build communication and trust with your pets well as to enhance his confidence. When a dog understands what he is being asked to do, he feels safer, because he knows what to do.
