#Dog obedience hand signal for stand free

Free (reasonably) This is performed identically to the exercise except that no leash is used. Stand (or Name, Stand) From heel - Stay (& hand signal), then walk 3 paces in front of the dog. My come signal is done with the left arm. Heel (or Name, Heel) Remove the leash & give to steward. As your dog’s nose follows the treat, their bottom should naturally lower to the ground. Step 2: Raise the treat Slowly raise the treat above your dog’s head. Hold the treat slightly above their nose to catch their attention.

Stand Hand Signal: To teach your dog to stand, use a flat hand signal and hold it out in front of your dog’s nose. Get your dog’s attention Stand in front of your dog with a treat in hand. My sit and down signals are pretty much what you describe, both done with the right arm. Here are some common hand signals for basic obedience commands: Sit: Hold your hand up, palm facing out, and then lower it towards the ground.

With the dog sitting, lure him into a stand. My dogs are taught to stand without moving their front feet forward - they kick the back legs out to stand instead of moving forward. To start on different sign cues, give the specific sign cue you want the dog to perform, lure the dog into place with a high value treat, (I use Light Bologna. Stand is not a command that is used a lot, but it can come in handy when brushing your dog, or at the vets office. Repeat steps 1-3 several times Now try the verbal cue but don't do the hand signal. Immediately after do the hand signal (that your pooch already knows). I use my RIGHT hand, across my body and in front of the dog's nose. If your pet already responds to a dog training hand command, adding a dog verbal cue is easy: First clearly say the verbal cue. My stand signal is also usually with the dog in heel position and usually starting from a sit (although they can do it from a down, too). My stay signal is usually with the dog in heel position and it's done with my left hand dropped down before the dog's eyes and then away. For utility obedience, the stay and stand signals are close to the dog the down, sit and come signals are at a distance so that's how I tend to teach them to my dog.
