10 Basic Dog Commands You Need To Know | Stephanie Taunton


Come Command Come means to stop what he’s doing and return to you. It’s an easy command to teach, and important in an emergency, if he should break loose from his leash or pen, or rush out the front door when company arrives. The come command helps you control situations much easier, and allows you to keep your dog out of harm’s way.


Okay Commands

Okay is a command every dog should know because this releases them from any other command you’ve given him. Okay simply means the dog is free to move.


Stay Command If your dog is going to be in new environments and introduced to new people, and they most certainly will do both at some point in their lives, it's a good idea to teach them to sit and stay to keep them well-behaved. Here's how to teach your dog these two commands in easy-tounderstand steps.


Sit Commands Sit is another easy command every dog should know. Dogs get excited when they’re getting ready to go outside or go for a walk. Some have a hard time waiting while supper is being prepared and some dogs go bonkers when the doorbell rings. Teaching your dog to sit and wait helps subdue their excitement so you can answer the door, finish their supper or get their leash attached to their collar. The sit command also works well to keep them from jumping up on people.


Leave It Commands Leave it is another good command for dogs to know, because it can give you peace of mind knowing they won’t grab something they shouldn’t have. Dogs can easily swallow whatever they’ve picked up if they think you want to take it away from them. And dogs have been known to swallow needles, safety pins and other small objects before their owners could retrieve the item. The leave it command tells the dog it’s not for him.


Drop It Commands Drop it How many times have you tried to wrestle something out of your dog’s mouth? They don’t know that the chicken bone clamped between their teeth is harmful for them. Instead of you prying their mouth open to retrieve whatever they’ve picked up, the drop it command makes life much easier for you.


Wait Commands Wait This command is sometimes used in conjunction with stay although they are two different commands used for different reasons. A more energetic dog may need to be held in check for a short time. Wait tells him it’s not time to go and he must stay where he is until you let him know he can move.


Stand Commands Stand is a command every dog should know because it makes it easier when you are trying to give him a bath or groom him. Teaching him to stand is also a big help during vet examinations or when you are trying to examine him yourself.


KISS AND SNUGGLE Once he is repeat the him toward or tapping planted.

in a controlled position, you can “Kiss” command and encourage your hand or face by pointing to where you would like a kiss

As always, if he is thinking about it and sniffing your hand or face, encourage him with “That’s It, Kiss,” and once he does say, “Yes! Good Kiss Koko!” followed by an alternate command to stop the kiss-fest, like “Sit.”
