Tricks and Commands
These are instructions can preformed with my handler in front of me, behind me or to my side. Sometimes she's not even in sight at all! I respond to both verbal cues and/or hang signals. I have also learned to perform most of my directions from a distance of 6 to 12 feet, a requirement of stage and film preparedness. Through the tricks and commands button below you will be able to view my extensive list of commands.
