#27 The Use of Pointing with Dogs
Pointing can be a confusing gesture for dogs if used inconsistently. If pointing indicates disapproval or stops a dog from doing something, it should not simultaneously be used to indicate something positive.
This mixed usage can lead to confusion and may even upset your dog. Pet parents must be mindful of their gestures and understand that pointing to a mistake may not always be effective. Consistency and clarity in gestures are crucial in training and interacting with your dog.
