Chapter 1: The Basic Commands

There are obviously numerous factors for owners to desire a calm, obedient, and devoted pet dog. For one thing, obedient and trained pet dogs are happier pets, less likely to get into tussles with individuals or with other pet dogs. Another factor is that numerous communities require that the canines living in their communities be well trained. This is particularly real for many types believed to have aggression and behavior problems such as canine types like pit bulls and rottweilers for example.

And of course, training your pet well will likewise make him or her a much better family buddy, especially in households where there are young children. Lots of research studies have shown that correct dog training makes a big impact when it concerns reducing the number of canine bites and other habits problems experienced by dog-owning families.

When thinking about training your own dog, or having someone else help you train it, there are specific standard commands that need to be mastered in order for a pet dog to be thought about genuinely trained. These standard commands consist of:

- "Heel" - it is essential that any pet find out to walk next to its owner on a loose lead, neither pulling ahead nor lagging behind

- Respond to the word "No" - the word no is one word that all canines should find out. Training your dog to react to this important word can save you lots of trouble.

- "Sit" - Training your canine to sit on command is an essential part of any pet dog training program.

- Stay - A well-trained dog must stay where his/her owner commands, so stay is a really important command in pet training.

- Down - Resting on command is more than just a cute trick; it is a crucial element of any effective pet training program.

The basic obedience commands that every dog should know are - Heel, No, Sit, Stay, Down and Off. These six commands form the basis of every fundamental obedience class, and it is important that you and your canine master these fundamental commands. These are the fundamentals, and it will be difficult to move onto other commands or to fix issue behaviors, without having mastered the basics.

Heel

Let us start with one of the most standard command of all, the heel command. Teaching a pet dog to heel is the essential first step in teaching the pet dog to stroll properly on the leash. The appropriate location for the dog to walk is at your side, neither lagging behind nor straining to get ahead.

If your dog begins to forge ahead on the lead, carefully tug on the leash. This will cause the training collar to tighten up and offer the pet a gentle reminder to fall back into line. If the dog begins to lag behind, gently urge him forward. A lure or toy is a great tool for the dog that constantly drags.

When the dog is consistently walking at your side, try to change your rate and motivating the dog to match his speed with yours. It should always be the dog who changes his speed to you; you must never ever change your pace to fulfill the requirements of the pet.

The word No.

The word no is a crucial one for your dog to find out, and one you might be using a lot as training starts. It is essential that the dog learns to respond to a sharp No without delay and obediently.

The Sit command.

The sit command is another crucial link in the chain that is dog training. Teaching a pet dog to rest on command, utilizing voice commands alone, will form the foundation of much future training, so it is necessary for the pet to master this crucial ability.

The sit command can be combined with the heel command. As you stroll alongside your canine, stop quickly. If your canine does not stop when you do, offer a sharp yank on the leash to advise the canine. Numerous canines will naturally stop when you do, while others need to be reminded through making use of the leash and the training collar.

When the canine has actually stopped by your side, advise him to sit by pressing carefully on his hindquarters. It is necessary not to use excessive pressure, or to push him down quickly. Doing so might scare, or perhaps hurt the pet. Rather, use a stable downward pressure. Many canines will recognize this as a sit command. It is important to say the word sit as you do this.

Repeat this treatment a few times by strolling, stopping and sitting your pet. After a few repetitions, the pet will probably begin to muffle his own every time he stops. It is very important to say the word sit each time, so that the pet dog will eventually find out to respond to voice commands alone.

The Stay command.

Like the sit command, the stay command is an important foundation to other, advanced training. For example, the stay command is essential to teaching the dog to come when called, which remains in turn important to off leash work.

The stay command can be made into an extension of the sit command. Have your canine sit, and while he is sitting, gradually pull back. If the canine begins to follow you, as he probably will it initially, return to the dog and ask him to sit again. Repeat the process up until you can reach the end of the leash
