Dog Training Tip of the Day- Adding a Verbal Cue
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. There are three easy steps to teaching a Verbal Cue: Step 1: Give the hand signal 5-10 times to help the dog predict what you will ask next. 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 if they will offer the cue without the hand signal. As you could see Kiko did not know what I wanted at one point, and offered another behavior besides the ‘Spin’. Instead of telling her she was wrong, I made a kissy noise and asked her to touch my hand to reset her. If she had continued to guess incorrectly, I would go back a step and give her the ‘Spin’ hand signal again after saying the verbal cue. The more you play this game the faster your dog will be at picking up new cues. Kiko now knows after a few minutes, that ‘Obama’ is the new word for ‘Spin’. DOGS ARE SO SMART!

Really good videos. Am going to be spending a whole lot of time in here. Thank You.
That’s great. I tried it and it worked perfectly. But unfortunately my dog now always wants to offer me the right spin when I try to add the verbal cue for the other direction..
“Obama” means spin to the LEFT.
How do you teach Kiko to touch your hand to reset??

Un ottimo metodo per inserire il cue. Grazie di cuore del video e della interessantissima lezione :)

You have a way of making it oh so clear! Thank you, again!
Shouldn’t the verbal cue “Obama” be for spinning to the left? Sorry, just had to say it. LOL!

Nice Prompt Switch!
I have been going to write an article on a prompt switch for a couple months now and have not gotten around to it.

Yet another great tip from you, Emily! This will surely be used by me in the future! Thank you! 5 stars!
Helpful tip as usual! I get lazy and usually stop at the hand/body signal.
Fantastic! 5*
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!
super illustration!!
Splash is too cute waiting patiently.
