dogs see limited color
Dogs see limited color. They cannot differentiate between red, orange, yellow, and green, but can tell those colors apart from blue, indigo, and violet. They perceive less detail than humans, but their night vision and sensitivity to movement ,s better than ours.
dog anxiety
Watch for signs of anxiety in your dog when teaching a new trick: scratching, yawning, licking his lips, looking away.
Call your dog to come for good things. Never call "come" for a bath or trip to the vet - go and get your dog instead.
Stay - Wait Difference
"Stay" means: don't move a muscle until i release you.
"Wait" is less formal, meaning: stay approximately there for a short time. "Wait until i gather my things before jumping out of the car."

RELEASE WORD, "OK!"
Your dog needs to understand at which times he is under your control and at which times he has been released. When instructed to "down" or "stay" for example, your dog is expected to remain in that position until you release him with your release word. "OK" is the most commonly used release word. When a training session has ended, "OK" releases your dog to run and play. "OK" also releases your dog to jump out of the parked car, to pounce on a toy, and to play with another dog.
END ON A HIGH NOTE!
Practicing new tricks is mentally tiring for your dog. Keep it fun and end the session while your dog is still wanting more. End on a successful note, even if you have to go back to an easier behavior to achieve this.
Jackpot
We all know the lure of a jackpot. Having achieved it once, we will sit at the slot machine all night in hopes of being rewarded with that elusive prize. The jackpot theory, when applied to dog training, can be a more effective motivator than consistent rewards.
Here's how to use it: ask your dog to perform some behaviors he is working on. If he does them fairly well, give him no reward or a small reward. When he performs a behavior very well or better than he has in the past, jackpot! Give him a whole handful of treats!
Wow, will that make an impression on him! He will continue trying extra hard in hopes of hitting that jackpot again.
Along the same lines, using several different types of treats during a training session can keep your dog motivated-"maybe I'll get the hot dog this time!"
