Puppy training: basic commands

But what commands to teach a puppy in the process of training? As a rule, for most dogs, the following commands are the most important:

1. “Sit”.
2. “Lie”.
3. “Stand”. These three commands are very useful in everyday life, for example, helping to keep the dog in place while washing paws or putting on a harness, on public transport or when meeting guests.
4. Excerpt. This is a much needed skill based on learning the first three commands. As a result, the dog learns to “keep its paws” and maintain a certain position for a certain time under stimuli, for example, when people walk around and dogs run around.
5. “To me”. This command allows you to attract the attention of the dog at any time and in any situation and call it, which means avoiding many possible troubles.
6. “Let’s go.” This command, unlike the “Near” command, does not require walking strictly at the owner’s feet, but helps to teach the pet to walk on a loose leash and allows you to distract if the dog is interested in something undesirable.
7. “Ugh”. This command is given if the dog grabbed something that was not intended for it.
