Obedience Signals
Hand Signals
- Down (a)
- Down (b)
- Finish to Heel
- Recall
- Sit
- Stand
Notes:
- It’s very easy to block your face with the Down (b) or Sit signal from your dog’s perspective…Make sure you practice in front of a mirror.
- There are no specified signals (or arms) for positions/exercises, it is up to the handler to follow the guidelines below. These are just typical signals.
Guidelines
- Single, uninterrupted motion
- Distinct
- Repeatable
- Clear from a distance
