Best Answer

Add the cue once your dog has learned to perform a behavior to your satisfaction.

If your dog is reliably responding to your hand signal for "down" (reliably = 8/10 times), add the verbal cue in this order to create an association to the sound "down" and the behavior your dog has already learned:

  1. Say the verbal cue, "Down"
  2. Show the hand signal
  3. Praise/reward when your dog performs correctly

Keep the verbal cue and the hand signal SEPARATE, or your dog may become dependent on seeing them in combination to perform correctly. With enough consistency and repetition, your dog will learn to associate the sound "down" with the behavior you want!
