Hello, I have many of the Leerburg videos and they are working great with my Jack Russell!! But I have some questions:
I see Michael and other trainers giving a command and the Dogs obey, but I can't hear what the command is. I understand it is not really that important, like Michael with Pi speaks his in French, but is there anywhere that I can find a list of the common command names like Sit, stay... What do you say to make your dog sit between your legs for one???
It would be nice to see a Glossary of common commands to give and what the Dog is expected to do.
In most instances, the commands you choose to teach your dog can be very flexible and based on personal preference. Like the list Bob linked, there are some very common ones for the most basic maneuvers and positions most of us want to teach our dogs. "Heel, sit, down, stay, come," etc., in English or whatever language you like.
As far as what specific command to use for asking the dog to sit between your legs, Cathy of course is right about those common ones, but those two words mean something completely different to my dogs, so I would have to think of something different if I wanted to teach that maneuver.
Are there any particular sports you'll be training and/or competing in with your JRT?

What command is used to have them come from behind you and sit between your legs?
Personally, I would use "Goose", or since I love hockey goalies, "5-Hole"
In my dogs' Command Vocabulary "Place" is a send-away order that means "Run Out to Where I'm Pointing and Wait There" -- But for what you want, maybe "Between" or "Split" ???
Michael always says it doesn't matter what the command word is, as long as the dog understands what you are asking it to do. You don't name it until it's perfect.
At my house, between the feet is "go legs" one of my classmates in agility class thought Toni's name was "Legs" because I used that command all the time.
I could not use "go feet" because that has a different meaning - it's the 2 on 2 off position in agility for my dogs.

Thanks,Kelly, dogs
don't mind our sounds if we use them in the same situation consistently. I use "between" and they understand it perfectly. At least this until now! Happy!
