Basic Dog Obedience Commands

Dog training in the most basic form has come to be complicated by too many dog owners.

I know that all dogs are not the same and that all training methods don't work on all dogs!

What I want to talk to you about is to not over complicate basic dog training.

I am no spitfire dog trainer(by no means), but I have trained my dogs to do

the basics with the greatest of ease. I'm talking about basic dog commands such

as sit, stay, come, down, and fetch. You see, most dogs( not all) have a desire to make

their master, owner, alpha-whatever you want to be called- happy. I know my

dogs do and every dog I have ever had did! I believe this is just the nature

of most dogs. Because of this fact, training my dogs to respond to these simple commands

has been easy for me!

It all starts with the love and attention you show your dog!

I say this because, if you think you can get a dog, place him n the backyard, and visit

him every once in a while and that training him will be easy, you are looking at a long road to travel!

I'm not saying any of you do this, but it takes developing a great relationship with your dog

and a respect level between the two of you, and then the training comes a lot easier.

This is one reason I believe it is best for the dog owner to train their own dog, and not

send their dog off to be trained by someone else. That respect level between the two of you has to exist!

Now if you are thinking that you don't know how to train you dog with basic

obedience training commands, you might be surprised at how much you do know.

Have you tried? If you have, did you not see some kind of reaction and success.

A lot of times you are training your dog even when you don't realize you are!

You see, your dog is always watching you and listening to you and watching your body movements.

So even when it is just you and your dog together and you are just spending time with

him, you are training him at some level.

Basic dog obedience commands are easy with most dogs!

If youshow your dog love,kindness compassion, and respect then he will will do

the same in return! If you tell your dog to sit, and even if he doesn't because he has never

heard this command, simply push his back end down lightly and repeat the command.

Then tell you dog good boy or good girl and repeat the process. You don't have to

reward him with food or a treat, simply rewarding your dog with praise is

all you need to do. If you don't ever start the food or treat rewards, your dog will never

expect anything more than what they want anyway-which is your praise and satisfaction.

Repeat the sit command and the praise reward over and over and in a short while your

dog will be sitting on command. You can use this procedure with all of the basic dog

obedience commands and I assure you it will work.

The more advanced training is a different topic and might require some

guidance from a professional.

I still believe that even with with the more advanced dog obedience training, it is very important

for the dog owner to train their own dog!

If you are feeling pretty confident with the basic dog commands, but feel that you need some

assistance with the more advanced training, then help is here.
