>o.o< ....................
I know what a wave looks like lol... Shippo has already learned the action today in two clicker sessions, using a hand signal. But now that he knows it, I was asking for ideas about verbal cues I could connect with it.

For example, I could say "wave". But the reason I am looking for alternatives is that he has been taught the command "Wait" and they sound very similar. I know that some dogs are not confused and know both commands, but I am still looking for alternatives in case I still decide to go with something different.

I also know that I can use any word, but what the heck is the point of having him wave when I say "banana"? That makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would anyone do that? I would really like suggestions for words that are associated with the action - in this case, waving. >O.o<

So far, I've received the following suggestions on other forums:
Say hi, say hello, ciao, bye bye, and of course wave (and here I got "banana" but not sure if that counts lmfao...)
