@ulla@fbailey@bintal@suzanne234@golftragic Zoe would like to thank you all very much for recognizing her as a true super dog/Astro dog. She would like to assure you that she will remain vigilant in the face of evil!! :)
@fbailey HI Fb - just thought I would update you on the clicker/ hand signal training. After doing some trials it appears that she can learn hand signals without the help of the clicker. She knows that "good girl" is the ultimate positive reinforcement (it comes with a treat) so she is learning her hand signals via the "good girl" rather than the clicker response. She has picked up "gentle/ do not touch/ this way/ OK/sit/ shake/ roll over and drop" so far. I'm afraid I'm going to run out of hand signals!! I'm going to google it to see if there are recognized signals used - it would help if she has to go into the kennel when she gets older. It's been quite remarkable to see how well she has adapted to them - I'm just going to keep using a mixture of verbal and hand signals until they become second nature for her. Thanks again for the idea. Cheers Rob
