SIMPLE OBEDIENCE

The below are the simple obedience the puppies must learn. I have taught them to Mac and he is good at it now. But there are other breeds that are aggressive and might not learn at your pace. You have to possess patience and ensure that they do it.

Sit: If your dog is lying on the floor, hold a treat above his head and slowly move it backwards while saying “sit”. Your puppy’s eyes (and eventually, body) will follow that treat’s movement backwards and he will end up in a sitting position. When he is in the sitting position, say “good sit!” and give him the treat.

Lie Down: This command it taught the opposite way that “sit” is taught. When your dog is sitting or standing up, hold a treat in front of his nose and slowly lower it to the ground. Your puppy’s eyes and body will follow this treat and he will eventually lie down. Do not give him the treat until his entire body is laying on the floor. When he is in this position, day “good lay down!” and give him the treat.

Stand: While your puppy is sitting or lying down, hold a treat in front of his nose and slowly pull it out away from him. This will urge him to come forward and he will naturally end up standing. When he is in the desired position, say “good stand!” and give him the treat.
