He also knows "not to far" but that one only really applies when we're outside and he's walking off leash. He kinda knows his sit, but he only really does it when he wants to be let out of his expen, he knows to sit before I let him out, and he was starting to sit for his food, but I stopped doing it for a while and now he looks at me like I'm nuts, almost as if he was saying "I didn't have to sit for breakfast, so why do I have to sit now?".
This site has a few: Hand Signals - Obedience Training. I really think it helps them to learn that you"re the boss, if you make them sit before feeding. This has helped Joey become less food aggressive when other dogs are around. I wish I had learned the hand signals first, I kind of made them up as I went along, and I would forget the signal, lol, so how can I expect him to remember it!
