Jackie and Dolly the English Springer Spaniel continue their playlist on effective techniques for training your dog to respond to your commands. In the previous video of this playlist, Jackie demonstrated calling Dolly with a whistle, and here she shows us a hand signal she has trained Dolly in. As mentioned in that earlier piece, Jackie began training Dolly when a puppy, and alongside classes and sessions with a gun dog trainer, used plenty of motivational practice sessions to help Dolly memorise the desired responses. Hand signals are especially useful if you are out walking on a windy day, or in a noisy place, or perhaps are communicating over some distance. You may not always want to call your dog’s name for a variety of reasons, and you may not always have a whistle with you. Jackie has picked a hand signal that is easy for Dolly to recognise, a large gesture that is simple to reproduce repeatedly.
