Release

The Release Command is telling the dog that they no longer have to hold their current command

• Dog is no longer in a formal command

• Continue to hold dog to consistent expectations

• Praise desirable behavior

• Correct unwanted behavior

• Motivate to demonstrate or encourage desirable behavior

Command Signal:

• Verbal: “Okay!”

• Hand Signal: See video

Corrections:

• Corrections are unnecessary since dog does not have to change their position to no longer be in a formal command

• Ex: a dog in the Sit command may simply choose to continue sitting after Released

Tips:

• Use gentle Motivation or enforce Leash Manners to test dog’s understanding of Release command
