What Does “YES!” Really Mean in Dog Training?

You’ve probably heard trainers say “YES!” in class, seen it on social media, or picked it up from friends. But do you know exactly how to use it—and why it matters?

🤔 When should you say “yes”?
🦴 Does it happen before, during, or after giving a treat?
🐶 Do you always need to follow “yes” with a treat?
👏 How is “yes” different from praise?
⏱️ And how do you know if your timing is right?

Join us for a 50-minute workshop on Sunday, November 1st at 4:00 PM, where we’ll answer these questions and more! Through discussion, handler practice, and demonstrations, we’ll break down how to use your “yes” signal effectively and help you better communicate with your dog.

📅 Sunday, November 1st
⏰ 4:00 PM
⏱️ 50 minutes

Please note: This is a people-only workshop. Leave your dog at home! Our registration system may still ask for your dog’s name, but you come without them.

We look forward to helping you take your training to the next level!
