Want a well-behaved pup that listens every time? Teaching basic commands is the key to a happy, obedient dog and a stress-free life! Whether you have a new puppy, or an older dog, consistency and patience are all you need.
Start with Sit—hold a treat above their nose and slowly move it back. As their head follows, their bottom naturally lowers. Once they sit, say “Sit” and reward them. Next, Stay—ask your dog to sit, then hold your palm up and say “Stay.” Step back and reward them for waiting. For Come, use a cheerful voice, say “Come,” and reward them when they reach you. Lie Down is similar to sit but with a treat guided to the floor. Lastly, Leave It—hold a treat in your hand, say “Leave it,” and reward them only when they stop trying to take it.
Training a dog requires the right tools for success! A clicker trainer helps reinforce good behavior with instant sound feedback. Training treats keep dogs motivated and eager to learn. A no-pull harness provides better control during leash training, preventing bad habits like pulling. Interactive puzzle toys stimulate their mind, reducing boredom and destructive behavior.
Potty training pads make house training easier, preventing accidents while establishing routines.
With short, daily training sessions, your dog will master these commands! Start today and let me know which command your pup learns first! 🐶✨
