WORDS
- teaching dogs
to understand and differentiate words. NOT as easy as you think!
Understanding words is a huge challenge to dogs. They understand
body language much better than we do. Most of the verbal commands
we give dogs are coupled with lots of visual cues. To do advanced
work with our dogs, we have to habituate them to listening to us.
You will find this an interesting task for you and your canine, and
probably much harder than you think!
