...teach Dakota to go from a down into a sit?
Backing up...She has really high toy drive so I've been cycling through commands with her when we're playing fetch to try and reinforce them and get her to respond faster. So for example, sit, take it, drop it, down, roll over, beg, then good girl and throw the ball. And then mix up the order or add something else in there next time. When she's in a down and I tell her to sit, she won't do it unless I give the hand signal for it, either with the verbal command or after it. Is there a way I can teach her to respond to just the verbal cue? She is better with hand signals, and generally has good response to them when I use them alone without the verbal. Now I'd like to strengthen her response to the verbal cues. Thanks!
