Down Means Down… Off Means Off

The Cue Sandwich: A Simple Way to Get Clearer Responses

Are you accidentally confusing your dog with the way you give cues? In this episode, we’re breaking down a simple but powerful concept: the cue sandwich. Because when it comes to dog training, the order of your words matters more than you think. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: * What a cue sandwich is (Cue → Reward → Cue) * Why saying “good dog” before a cue can reduce clarity * How to help your dog understand cues faster when teaching new behaviours * How to use this method for real-life tasks like fetching specific items * Why clearer communication leads to better responses If your dog is slow to respond, seems confused, or struggles to understand what you’re asking, this episode will help you tighten up your communication and make things click. Because sometimes… It’s not what you’re saying— it’s the order you’re saying it in. 💛 To join the Guns and Noses Insider's Club as a founder head here: Insider Club | Guns and Noses [https://www.gunsnnoses.co.uk/guns-noses-insider-club]Use code FOUNDER at checkout, I would love to see you Inside the Club
