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! How to train your dog to listen to you how to train your dog to obey voice commands, how to train your dog to verbal cues how to switch from hand signals to verbal cues how to cue your dog with just your voice dog training obedience training canine freestyle clicker training puppy training what you need to know to train your dog how to teach spin and twirl with just a verbal cue How to teach your Chihuahua to spin …

This is SO useful, my dog is excellent with hand signals but always has problems with verbal cues!

@Civicblabla u can just say the word “YES!” to make the behavior, instead of using a clicker.

@nataliawasilewska97 – Because Democrats are considered to be on the “left” in politics… it was just a silly pun (and one that several other people seem to have made).

@StacyBS why? Obama is just a random word emily chosen, so why is it spin to the left?

Perhap you could use “Palin” for spin to the left and really have a good joke going! Thanks for the great tips. Claire

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..

Shouldn’t the verbal cue “Obama” be for spinning to the left? Sorry, just had to say it. LOL!
