In this Episode, we'll discuss how to teach a young dog or puppy to stay on a training cot for 20 minutes straight, without using gestures/hints, words/cues/commands, leash corrections, or aversives of any kind. How would you do it?
Ep 3Episode 3: What is a Verbal Cue... Part 3

Ep 2Episode 2: What is a Verbal Cue... Part 2
In Episode 2, we continue the discussion of verbal obedience cues, and what these sounds really mean to a dog. We'll look at a few examples of obedience cues used in "positive-only" training approaches, and we'll discuss why these cues might not lead to the behavioral compliance levels that one might expect.
Ep 1Episode 1: What is a Verbal Cue... from the dog's perspective?
In Episode 1, we'll explore the question: What are verbal obedience cues, and more importantly, what do these sounds mean to a dog? Most people would consider an obedience cue or command to be either a request or a demand for the performance of a specific behavior. But is this really the case, from the dog's perspective? And if not, what do verbal obedience cues actually signify to the dog?
