Basic Commands
Come – This command should be taught early in order for your dog to easily recall this particular order all throughout his lifetime. Treats a re also used to lure your dog to come to you. Start with placing a dry food on a plastic container then show it to your dog while clearly saying the word ‘treat’. This will help your dog associate the sound of shakers (meat in plastic) with treats. Do this as often as needed until such time your dog will visibly respond to the sound of the shaker. After a few sessions use the shaker to call him towards you. But this time be sure to call out the word ‘come’ before using the shaker. If your dog responds correctly, give him a treat. In time your dog will learn to associate the word come with a shaker, that’s the only time you start to gradually increase your distance. Make sure that you will not call your dog to reprimand him, as this will only cause negative reactions every time you call him in the future. Down – begin with your dog on a sitting position and use the treat to lure him to bend halfway to the ground. Slowly move your hand closer to the ground and once he starts to understand, gently move the food away. Do this for several repetitions until he can easily move his head towards the ground. After having achieved that, try to move the lure under his chest and wait for a few seconds. At this point, would readily learn to drop. Exercise later without the bait to get him to cooperate. Heel – for pet owners, it can be quite exasperating to have an untrained dog on a leash moving along a very busy sidewalk. It can be a perfect recipe for disaster, especially if there is another dog in sight. Untrained dogs are more likely to crisscross, trip other people and practically become a walking pest and peril. Teaching your pet to heel is one of the most essential commands in order to instill some disciple especially if you are out on public. Like other commands, this is taught using a leash. From the sit/stay position, allow your puppy to warm up by giving him free rein to rum. Then command him to sit/stay on your left side and firmly grasp the leash halfway between the dog and your right hand. This will provide you a corrective hold when needed. Call out clearly the command ‘Heel!’ with the dog’s name. For example, “Hell, Chuck!’ As you give out the command, move with your left foot first. Your puppy will either dash forward or lag behind. These are among the expected reactions. This is when you need to make some corrective and instantaneous reactions. If he tries to dash, let him do so but only until at the need of the leash, then yank hard. Walk up to him and command ‘sit/stay’, then praise or pat him on the head. If he lags behind, don’t try to drag him but instead wait for him to come along with you, gently using the leash to urge him on, then make him sit or stay. Do not forget to praise him or give the reward after every command. Once your puppy learns how to heel with the leash, teach him to be on a sitting position once you stop walking. Walking him in a short distance, then stop and give out the heel command or signal him to sit. You need to keep repeating this walk and sit routine until such time you need not call out a command but simply use hand signals. |
