I have speech problems because of cancer in my throat. So my throat hurts and impairs my speech. I've trained my stubborn Bulldog Bam Bam with hand commands. He knows 10 different hand commands

[@antoniahoffman3501]

Impressive to me, Suge…10 hand commands. The silent signals made me assume the dog was highly intelligent. I’d have to use a book to suggest clearly differentiated signals.

[@deepbluebeer]

You're a fucking unit brother

[@tompatchak8706]

Bam bam is a great name!!

[@master_bobby4082]

Bam bam cute name

[@Omari.147]

Could of just said the last part no need for the sad story

[@t.m.23]

I train my dogs with both hand and voice commands. We train/prepare for multiple scenarios. Hand commands if we need to communicate in silence in a sensetive situation. Voice commands if my hands are restrained/unavailable. I also utilize dramatic facial expressions as well to signal my dogs.

[@warpdriveby]

I've seen these statistics from a study done at my alma mater UW(Wisconsin). It does vary pretty widely by breed. EVERY breed tested correctly responded most often to a visual signal by 50%+. Herding/and sporting category breeds both learned commands most quickly (fewest repetitions and reinforcement), gave the correct behavior most often, and responded above 90% for visual and 80% both/sound alone. This makes sense as those tasks require tons of communication, what's fascinating to me is that the other "groups" of dogs learn a visual command MUCH faster than vocal commands. I studied neuroscience and clinical psychology (human), so I only saw the data and conclusions because I had no classes with Patricia McConnell PhD because she is in the Zoology dept. and I was out of credits to burn on interesting classes or I'd have loved to take one of her classes! As usual you are totally on point!

[@cathytonarelli3555]

I had a deaf boxer... Love of my life, I still cry after 20+ years. We did search and rescue and used sign, hand commands. Our dog at home understood verbal commands in 2 languages.

[@starbock]

This resonates very loudly with me. Compared to my other dogs, I was able to communicate with my deaf dog FAR better than any other dog.

[@randyrawdingii5135]

I only recently learned this. Truck driver and I started telling my 7 year old to stay with a palm out to keep her in the passenger seat so she doesn't take my seat and I can't climb in. Was doing the hand signal because she couldn't hear me through the closed window and it was just my frustration lol. She learned incredibly quick. I was super surprised and then did it without speaking and Maggie picked it up immediately!

[@sarahilyard2180]

Well that's prob why it was so easy to teach my deaf dog. She's the smartest and most well behaved dog I've ever had.

[@darylm7239]

You are so right- My German Shep was very visual- Hand commands are very good!

[@angelicamiller3980]

True. I have two hand commands my dog understands immediately, one for "we are going out" and another for "bring the towel". However, the permisión to eat is a voice command, and he waits for it

[@juancarlos-rg3ei]

You're not training those dogs, You're they're Chef

[@marlo9380]

100% Facts!!!! My dog reacts great with only hand commands. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@jeancafego2579]

I use combination of both. Had 10 dogs at 1 time

[@cthawk6770]

Hand commands and vocal commands works best for some of the trickier commands.

[@LittleBarracuda]

I am autistic and selectively mute, especially in social situations. Comes in really handy that i taught my dog very subtle gestures like sticking my tongue out and moving the thumb like im using a lighter (this makes him nod profusely, the "hidden" gesture is merely for a better party trick effect 😂)

[@user-mm5ds2zj5q]

Just taught my king shepherd commands in 10 minutes with 4 different one word hand command combos. One word with a hand command at the same time he listens better at a year and a half being taught by hands then any dog I've ever trained. It's amazing

[@user-mm5ds2zj5q]

Fyi he's adopted from a breeder family... He didn't know even his name before we got him.

[@bklynwill8648]

used both for better results depend on breed

[@charlesbronson3010]

Yes and they SIRSIR!

[@sergiomontesinos7244]

This is so true people think my dog is trained because I have deaf and blind family members but it’s actually because the dog pays attention to your hand *provably because he knows we hold treats* but this makes them always pay attention to hand movements a dog that is obedient is a dog everyone loves they are such intelligent animals they know who they can jump up and be silly with and when to stop and they know to be softer with the blind and look for hand contact with their noses with the deaf it’s like they just know

[@tompatchak8706]

I do both. Sky can’t always hear a clapping but she always hears me doing a punk rock OII!!

[@stacker6077]

I was under the impression that we should be teaching them both!

[@Arturo-Chacon]

The loop is so good that I just barely realize I had watched it twice.

[@coyotekus]

Right about until the dog is blind Then it's their nose.Cesar Milan proved it I still love both you and Cesar ways of training.

[@eliazarperez3585]

I literally just did all the hand commands my dog know and there was no hesitation lol

[@letyoursoulspeak]

I’m definitely buying your training

[@Stone-vs9gw]

I use both. But definitely, want to get mine to only hand commands.

[@alexandercruz8824]

Love this! I've trained every dog I've ever had on verbal and non-verbal commands.

[@urban_metaphysics_]

You are a jewel to you tube sir these small bits of advice have changed my dogs behavior dramatically

[@daviddauterman325]

That’s definitely debatable. One instance obviously is when you’re out of sight of your dog. Teach both verbal and visual commands simultaneously and you’re covered, done.

[@ironmiketodd]

This is JUST my opinion…. When I see trainers using FOOD as a main source of motivation it reminds me why I end up with SO MANY of their clients 😂

[@Trppinmyveins]

sit✊️ Lay down🫳 Wait✋️ Go!

[@CaffeinatedHiFi]

We recently rescued a dog who's ears had been infected for so long they had to remove her ear canals and sew them shut so she's mostly deaf. She can hear if you yell or clap but those tend to spook her. We eventually came up with hand signals for her and she picked up on them pretty much immediately. What's even crazier is our other dog who's like 13 years old picked them up just as quickly. If I hold up a hand like ✋ they know to stay and they do really well. Dogs definitely understand hand signals and body language a lot better than verbal commands.

[@JR.6Speed]

My dog is about 90% deaf. I never realized that I used my hands and he retained it after 13 years.

[@heatherwilliams6558]

I use mostly verbal that works well for me and my three dogs I do however have few hand signals I use but not often

[@bestbeech52]

I taught my dogs hand commands accidentally while trying to teach voice commands 😅 now I don't even have to say anything. It's awesome. We are zombie apocalypse ready 😂

[@abelalvarez2306]

Adoro a los perros.I love Dogs

[@wintereve7267]

Super appreciated xx thank you ❤

[@atyourservicedog]

I use hand commands with voice, and my Rottweiler is always watching my hands. Add hand signals to your training, it’s a wonderful way of communicating with your dog!

[@Jason-fg4jr]

We use hands verbal and snaps claps and lag slaps lol my wife gets aggravated with me but it's consistent and the same with all 4 of our pits

[@lavonnemcdowell7040]

Thank you 💕

[@TheKjoy85]

My service dog, when I finally get one, has to be strong on hand commands because I am semi-mute. I can't rely on voice commands or expect him to obey my mom's voice commands when he is working. When he is off duty, I need him to obey my mom and brother, not just me.

[@atyourservicedog]

Hand commands are fantastic! I use voice and hand, but my service dog is always watching my hands first. All the your training with your new partner! 😊

[@michaelberna987]

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm sure though you must still use voice commands to get your dog back when the dog is playing in the yard and not looking towards you.

[@abettercompaniondogtrainin2234]

I always teach my clients to use BOTH verbal commands and hand signals for various reasons

[@EmmanuelKani]

And what are those various reasons?

[@abettercompaniondogtrainin2234]

@@EmmanuelKani if I’m talking on the phone and don’t want to give verbal commands. Or if my hands are full and can’t give a hand signal. Plus some of my clients dogs are deaf. Lots of reasons

[@sreevidyasubramanian5294]

Absolutely true. 100% agreed. My Shiba Inu reacts wonderfully to hand commands as supposed to voice commands and follows very diligently

[@antoniahoffman3501]

Good grief! That is such basic info…dogs being visually oriented, but I’ve never heard it before. Thx!

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

I only use hand commands because I've had cancer in my throat.

[@SaidAhmad]

Nope. Not visually oriented. See my comment above…

[@hgamer4934]

Yare yare daze

[@jcbusto122]

Ugh 😫 wish I knew this 10 years ago!

[@denisenix90]

I had a trainer get on to me because i trained all of my dogs to both voice and hand. He said it should be voice command only. Then, further belittled me by asking if I was trying to be like law enforcement or the military. Long story short, I fired him and continued to use both. My Cane Corso is now going to be 11 years old and losing her hearing. However, we are still able to communicate because I use hand signals. Her eyes light up when she realizes I am talking to her, even by signals.

[@moms4class]

Very nice loop!!👏👏👏

[@kieranthomas2961]

Totally 👍

[@mogyory2763]

I had a Rottweiler that would read my eye movements.

[@criticalthinking8665]

😂

[@DroppedAK]

My German shepherd is great with voice commands and hand signals my pitbull needs work he only knows how to give paw and sleep 🤣

[@jerimiah_y]

Hmm. I already had some hand signals without thinking much on it. Tested. Yep flawless. Now I need to think of others. 🤔🤔

[@tenketsu8822]

My husky is trained with hand and voice commands

[@skyscraper007]

so true

[@Sweetypiesugarlove]

Probably common sense but I never thought of that lol😂

[@ComfortablyNumbb130]

Is it ok to do both? For basic commands my dog knows hand signals and voice. I sort of started to run out of hand signals after about 5 commands 😂 so for more advanced commands I mainly use my voice

[@looking_for_nice_weather]

That's cool

[@chamellesway8424]

100% correct. Once you got your dog to the point that he understands that he has to keep eye contact in a calm way to interact with you, it’s all easy. And the less you need vocals like no No Nooo!😁 the better it gets. But to get there is hard 😁🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 for the most people, let us be honest. Like 70% of dogowners don’t have enough time, experience and patience to achieve goals with they’re dogs. At this point you see the lack of knowledge because dogs only learn over positiv response and connection to positively learned command on long term. So what you what to teach em when you scream no No Nooo 🤷🏻😂😂😂

[@helenconstantine4952]

Yep

[@jaymiejohnson1793]

What about both like combining voice with hand commands that is what I do for my dog

[@tonytahmasebi1926]

Can you teach both at the same time or different times? And also if your dog is far away and doesn't see your hands then what?...thanks

[@keira3959]

My blind dog isn't responding bro, I think I missed a few steps

[@ivettedizon7020]

No wonder !! Wow

[@georgepaladino2501]

How about that! No shock collars or spike collars!

[@jimmygallowmusic7981]

Could not agree anymore hand commands is more important I’ve a bull terrier and found the hand commands a lot easier to train, my voice commands work aswell but responds a lot better to hand commands

[@Born_again7]

It’s true

[@terryharris9592]

I tell people this all the time I've been doing this for years ally dogs are by my hand commands and communication but they are smart enough to understand what u are saying animals are smarter then u. think believe that.....💯👍

[@ginacaparotta7971]

It’s also good for deaf dogs.

[@realistmusic6481]

Please make a video on your opinion on a turkish kangal.

[@yewintomlinson813]

I mean that works great if you're just training the dog to do things when they're looking at you, but for bite work, herding, things like that, the dog has to be looking elsewhere

[@criticalthinking8665]

I bet he NEVER thought of that😂

[@starrb8689]

Maybe for working dogs.

[@Darthreal]

What at about speech and hand commands?

[@copcuffs9973]

"Actions speak louder than words"👍 ⚠️ Watch does what your GF do match with what she says!? ✌️

[@kimeverhart6253]

Where is a good place for puppy owners to learn universal hand commands to teach to our dogs?😊

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

In your neighbors yard

[@SaidAhmad]

Nonsense. They are all olfactory. Watch all the videos of dogs meeting their owners after a long absence. Invariably they will react as most dogs do with strangers when they first SEE them; but, once they get close enough to sniff then and only then do all those memories come flooding into their brains and they react upon meeting a long lost love. So…nope vision is secondary to dogs NOT a primary. Just FYI.

[@Enki999]

9 out of 10 of my commands r by hand ✋. #AussieRottweilersRok

[@Archana20128]

OK

[@refl3xun_named684]

One of the funniest thing i wanna try is to get a GSD and us the move that hitler does as a hand command.

[@fancen]

coo

[@Cube-vi9ig]

Ok

[@bluesapphire2274]

Do you think people should hit there dog after they where bad?

[@alphaobediencedogtraining6867]

🫶🏼

[@brucef5088]

Hey genius… how about using both? lol wow

[@brucef5088]

You’re not limited to one or the other

[@janechristensen7417]

Bullshit. Notice the trainer is feeding dog when he responds correctly.

[@ThomasBMawn]

Im sure all dogs know the word chicken, bone,&walk naturally in the soul!😂🐶🐕

[@Xx_vendetta_xX67]

If I get a dog like a golden retriever can I bring it somewhere to be trained or do I have to train it

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Yeah try your neighbors yard when your neighbor is gone
