Basic Commands

Here are some basic and useful commands worth teaching
your dog.
Sit, Stay, and Come - The norm.
Heel - Positions the dog at the
trainer's left side, or alternately between his legs facing forward when at rest.
Settle - Settle down. Down - Get down or
lay down, depending on the circumstances.
Show - Stand at full height on hands
& toes, legs spread, all parts accessible and on display.
Eyes up, looking forward.
In addition to the above, the human dog can be issued
somewhat more complex commands once it has been properly conditioned to respond to its
trainer. Being slightly more intelligent than other breeds, a well trained dog is capable
of understanding things like "Go fetch my boots" or "Beg for it,
bitch". Other commands can be added or the above modified to suit the handler's
needs, but all commands that will be used regularly should be properly reinforced during
regular training sessions for maximum effectiveness. |
