Basic Training for Your Dog that Will Impress

We all have fantasies about our dogs being the perfectly trained animals we all hope them to be when they first enter our homes, however, it doesn’t really work that way.

Here we will discuss about pet training, why it’s important and a few basic commands that are totally attainable with a little consistency and dedication.

Besides simply impressing people left and right, a welltrained pet may serve as helping animals, guard dogs, or simply loving companions for us.

Here are a few other reasons that may give you the incentive to provide your pet with some basic training-

Your and the dog's safety is of primary importance because if your dog knows not to run into the street if the lease fails, then the chances of getting injured are reduced considerably for both of you.

If you are going out of town and need someone to look after your dog, then your dog should be well trained to understand & obey their commands so that they are able to take care of him.

When your pet is well trained, you are better able to relax and enjoy their company, or enjoy more activities with them, such as going to the dog park, going for a hike, etc.

There’s nothing worse than feeling like you can’t keep your pet under control and if your pet is trained in basic commands, then he will pick up on your confidence immediately and will be at ease as you are.

Having guests over is always a challenge when there are dogs involved and proper training of your pet will help you feel comfortable in inviting guests to your home in their presence.

Here are a few basic commands that you should consider working on with your dog from day one-

If your pet wanders off out of your reach or eyesight, they should be able to be called back to you easily.

To avoid accidents or your pet walking into the street, or into a messy or hazardous area, they should be able to “stay� put.

Consistency on walks can be helped by the “heel” command so your pet doesn’t wrap around your legs with the leash and trip you accidentally.

To keep your pet from jumping up, or to help them stay put in an area while you clean or until the danger passes.

This will help you enjoy walks and allow you to bring your pet with you out and about in the outside world.

It is not a command, but it’s a basic skill that all pets should master to avoid added stress and the hassle of cleaning.
