    Bella is being thaught using hand signals

    Bella, our 5 month old boxer pup is very clever. She is going to puppie school and she is really picking up stuff. In school we learn (it is at least as much training the owners as the dog) how to train the dog by positive enforcement. We use the Click and Treat method. When she does something well we click and then we treat. It works really well.
     
    She can sit down and lay down on hand signals, no words required.
     
    • the hand signal for sit is a hand horizontally raised palm up
    • the hand signal for lay down is a hand vertically hold up palm forward.
     
    now we need to teach her how to stay away from the table which has foodscraps on it. I am sure she will learn that as well
