The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for actuating a dog clutch (6) of a manual transmission (2) of an electrically driveable vehicle (1), in which at least relative rotational speeds and/or rotational angle positions of a sliding sleeve (7) and of a coupling element (12) relative to each other are determined, in order to avoid a possible tooth-to-tooth position. In the case of a predicted tooth-to-tooth position, control measures are carried out, which change the relative rotational angle position of the sliding sleeve (7) and of the coupling element (12) relative to each other and/or the duration of the movement of the sliding sleeve (7) in such a way that, when an engagement position is reached, delay-free form-fitting meshing of associated sets of dog teeth (10, 13) is carried out.
