Before we name a command, the dog must first understand, through a physical cue, what we want and expect from them. During this step, you will begin to teach your dog the desired behaviors this way, such as with luring or leashpressure. You will continue to carry out this step until your dog is performing each position in the way that you would like them to.

Let’s use "sit" as an example. If I'm using food, I will lift my hand up, and as the dog follows my hand, their butt naturally goes down into a sit. The moment the dog sits, I would use one of my markers and then I would reward the dog. Once I know that every time I lift my hand up the dog will sit, it is then time to name the command. This goes for any command we’re trying to teach our dogs. Simplified: we must first get the dog to perform the behavior with a physical cue. Once we have our dog performing the action with our physical cue it is then time to name the command.

Now keep in mind, it doesn’t matter what the physical cue is, as long as you know you can get your dog to do the behavior every time with that cue.

Here are a few examples:

• You want to get your dog to smile on command and you realize that blowing in your dog’s face gets this behavior. Blowing in your dog’s face would be the physical cue.

• Teasing your dog with a toy or knocking on the wall could get your dog to bark. This would be the physical cue you could use to teach your dog to bark on command.

• Placing a treat under a call bell could get your dog to ring the bell in an attempt to access the food. Once the dog rings the bell, you would lift up the bell and allow your dog to get the treat. This would be the physical cue to get your dog to ring the bell.

Once you get your dog to perform the behavior with the physical cue, you will mark and then reward upon completion of each behavior.
