"For Dogs, Actions Count"

For dogs the way humans communicate with them is important. There are many ways to communicate with your dog. The 3 main ways are verbally, visually, and physically.

Dogs can understand and learn verbal cues. Dogs have an inability to respond to commands that sound similar to others. In the text, once dogs were answering correctly, the researchers changed the command words slightly. In place of "sit' they used "chit".

Dogs respond better to visual cues. Dogs sometimes pick up signals we don't send. The text also states that when your voice tells it one thing and your body tells it another, it's not being stubborn it may be confused.

Dogs prefer nonphysical interaction. The text says dogs responded better when head and finger pointing were in agreement. Kissing or picking up the dogs didn't work. Patting and clapping worked less than 50%.

Dogs aren't being stupid they are confused. Take Sophia Yin's advice
