Miscellaneous Commands
|
|
Shake - Directs the dog to offer its paw to a human as a "shake hands" gesture. Dog may use right or left paw as it prefers. The dog should only shake on the verbal command NOT on seeing a hand presented. |
|
|
Name - Upon hearing its name the dog should immediately look at the handler and keep its attention on the handler until cued to perform some other behavior. The handler may use the dog's name to get the dog's attention in a noisy or distracting situation. Generally, the handler should follow the dog's name with a cue for the dog to come to the handler or perform some other behavior. However, in a relatively quiet environment when the dog is fully awake, it should not be necessary to precede commands with the dog's name. |
|
|
Speak - Directs the dog to bark until told to stop. |
|
|
Quiet - Directs the dog to stop barking. |
|
|
Hurry - Cue to defecate and urinate. Fluency for HURRY requires the dog to be comfortable toileting on a variety of surfaces, on lead or off. |
|
|
Release - Cues dog that immediately preceding command is no longer in effect, i.e., it no longer has to perform the command it had been doing prior to the RELEASE be given. The dog should still not pull on the leash, or act in an inappropriate manner. |
|
|
Wait - Analogous to STAY for the "threshold" commands UNDER, OUT, JUMP, BED and CAR. The idea is that the threshold is inviolate but, unlike STAY, the dog can adjust its body without breaking the command. Since the duration is part of the criteria for these commands, WAIT is largely redundant. |
|
|
Dress - Instructs the dog to put its head through the cape or head collar. |
|
|
Don't - Verbal command to prevent the dog from doing something. Can also be used with a reinforcing leash correction if the dog does not respond. |
