Dog training 102. # sit # stay # come.
The benefits of training your pup can not be overemphasized,the success at training will determine the usefulness of your dog and the level of communication he can have with you .other dogs and other people.Dogs can be put to use in various ways based on the training they acquire and the trait of the breed,you cant expect a toy dog or a lab dog to be an effective security dog.
The various breeds of dogs have found usefulness in various industry,but these functions are built on basic commands such as fetch,sit,come and fetch.
Dogs can be trained to do so many stuff, but dedication and commitment of trainer/owner is key to success of this exercise.The sit command can be taught using this method;
1)place your left hand on rear of dog.
2)place your right hand under her chin and command "sit"
3)motioning the dog downwards by applying pressure on the rear end and say "sit".
The dog will sit,then you praise the dog..........good boy.
This should be practiced for 10 minutes once or twice a day for about 5 days.
It is essential to state that during training all the other commands that the dog has been taught will be used at interval.
The "come" command is easy and your pup should pick it up immediately,
1) Call the pup to you by his name.
2) say come command ,and gently motion the dog towards you using the leash,he responds by moving towards you.Praise him and repeat until his response is flawless.
The next command is the "stay"
1) call dog to you,make him sit by you.
2)then say "stay",and move around slowly to face him.
3)stay there for a few seconds and then return to his side.
4) praise him.and practice twice a day for 3 days until response is perfect.
Training requires patience and dedication,dont try to rush your pup or get angry with him,be gentle but emphatic when you say the command.
