Understanding Physical Cues
Physical cues are essential for effectively communicating with dogs, especially when verbal cues may not suffice. These cues can involve hand motions or body movements that clearly prompt desired behaviors, but frequently, dog owners combine verbal commands with physical cues unintentionally. For example, when using a treat to lure a dog into a 'sit' position, the action of moving the treat may overshadow the verbal command. This can result in confusion for the dog, hindering their ability to recognize and respond to the verbal cue alone.
