When OK doesn't mean okay!

Could your everyday “OK” accidentally end your dog’s stay? 🐶

We say “OK” so often in conversation that a dog taught to use it as a release cue may hear permission to move—even when we’re talking to someone else!

Try a more distinct cue like “Release,” “Free,” or “Break.” Choose ONE, teach your dog what it means, and use it consistently.

Follow Paws & Reflect for simple training tips that help you and your dog understand each other. 🐾
