[QUOTE=hunniebunnie]is there a website with hand signals commonly used for training? TIA[/QUOTE
Make up your own that feel right and comfortable to you.
I look at some of the signals given by hand by others and go shorten it up.
Someone showed me sit as a big sweep of the arm in a curved motion and I laughed.
For me sit is simple one finger pointed to the ground.
Down is flat hand palm down, moving down.
Spin is the finger pointed down in a spin motion, wait is palm to dog.
over is finger to the side of the dog pointing to the back end.
BAck is Palm of hand facing dog, figures up and moving hand toward the dog.
These are all the ones I made and make sense to me.
I do not want my girl responding to anyone else giving her hand signals. Even the kids still use the words.
It a safe way to get her to work for me when it is nosiy or someone is trying to tell her verbally to do something I rather her not. She watchs me and does the hand sign over a word. |
