"SILENT COMMAND DOG TRAINING" You can do it yourself
(Copied from another post)
Use hand sign - it will wake you up!
We use hand gestures with dogs all the time, we just don't realise it. Use the commands words for a while, but get over it. Think aboutyour movements when you say the words... They watch your body gestures more surely than they listen to words.
Dogs do not have much vocal ability - it is all posture and gesture. They do not listen to us, they watch us.
Stop talking, and use your hands.....
They will understand you!
Then start watching the dog - they talk the same way.
It's up to you to figure out their mannerisms....
Different breeds respond better than others too. Rottweillers are about the best. A poodle will respond indifferently....
Labradors and German Shepards are excellent.
Pick a breed you get along with well, and explore it. It will be a rewarding experience.
My best were always black and tan - they learned everything I could tell them, and taught me a lot.

Wolf, your just all over the place tonight! You are correct, I have got my two trained where all you have to to is nod, or point, or raise you hand. Of course they also know verbal commands but its all about Body language. Have you ever watched that dog whisperer on TV? He is pretty good about teaching some people (notice I said people) how to train their dogs the proper way by watching how the dog acts and by you being the pack leader. Good show.

Had to put my 17 year-old dog down 2 weeks ago. Got a call 2 days later from a friend and "rescued" a 1 year-old Jack Russell Terrier. Starting the training all over again. This guy gets into stuff that the previous dog never thought of.

A JRT is not a dog acceptable to train.
At least not in the ways and means I intend

It may be prejudice on my part.
There was an untrained JRT at my house at one point that taught all the other dogs to run around cars as they were leaving the house.
At least three of those dogs were run over because they were not as fast as the JRT.
I demanded that the JRT be gone - NO EXCUSES.
The owner was a stepson who said he could not keep it at his rented house. I told him bluntly it was not going to stay at mine either.
This was on one of my leave in transit periods, and I knew I had some seriously stupid folk at the homefront. I had to try to debug what I saw.
Exercise due caution, or excise the problem.
I realise fully that the problem was caused by STUPID PEOPLE. But I could not kick my family out of the house while I was away, nor could I be there to change the situation.
