I have always tried to communicate with my dogs through standard training techniques. It works, most times. This will astound many of you .. I have found out something that works !!!! I use hand commands that require pounding on the ground with my closed fist .... my dog really understands !!! I call it "Caveman" communication. We have evolved with language, but I don't think our dogs have. I think they remain in a time, long lost, to we humans. For example ... sit on the floor and pound the floor with the knuckles of your closed fist and your dog will come to you, automatically. Try it and let me know if you get the same results! I have other commands, if anyone is interrested.
