In dog training, what is the Keep Going Signal intended to indicate?

• A. The trainer should end the session.
• B. The dog should continue performing the requested behavior.
• C. The dog should begin a new behavior.
• D. The dog should stop the current behavior.

Answer: (B)

Keep Going signals the dog to continue performing the current behavior. It serves as a cue that the task isn’t finished yet and that the dog should sustain the action or keep repeating it until you issue the next cue or release. This is especially helpful for duration or continuous behaviors, where durability of performance matters, such as staying in place, maintaining focus, or continuing a chosen action for a set period. The signal doesn’t tell the dog to end the session, to start a new behavior, or to stop the current behavior; it specifically requests continuation of what is already being performed.
