Did you know that there’s a major difference between the way service dogs are trained, and the way regular dogs are trained?
Regular dogs are usually trained mainly using verbal cues or commands.
Unfortunately, the science of animal behavior tells us that this is the wrong way to train dogs.
Why?
That’s because when dogs communicate with each other, they primarily use body language. They only use vocalization to make their body language more dramatic.
So if we want to communicate with our dogs, we need to communicate with them using language THEY understand.
And the language they understand is body language.
That’s exactly why service dog trainers train dogs mainly using body language.
