6 BASIC COMMANDS TO TRAIN YOUR DOG
1. Dogs are never too young or oldto start training them.
Because dogs are always learning, teaching him that a certain
behavior results in good things happening means he's more
likely to behave that way.
Training your pet can also prevent unwanted
behaviorproblems from developing in the future.

is give an introduction to the true basics of
training.
Are you ready to start training your dog or
puppy? Proper training and socialization are
among the dog's basic needs.
At first, dog training can seem quite
overwhelming, especially if it's your first dog.

2. THE TRUTH IS THAT TRAINING YOUR DOG
IS A GROWTH PROCESS FOR YOU AND FOR
HIMIf you take it step by step, you will find the
activity very rewarding and deeply satisfying. So,
never give up.
HOW TO EDUCATE A DOG, WHERE TO
START
There are some basic commands, which are the
backbone of any dog training.It is not about
teaching him to do who knows what, but about
teaching him that orders must be followed,
above all for the safety of the dog itself.
WHERE DO TRAINERS START WHEN ASKED
HOW TO TRAIN A DOG?
Let's look at some basic commands, and how to
best execute and practice them, to at least have
a starting point from which to work with your
dog.
Of course, in one article we cannot cover all the
topics that should be addressed.
Therefore, our advice is that you evaluate a
course with dog trainers if you want to delve into
the subject.
These days, online dog training courses are also
becoming more and more popular, where a
trainer demonstrates exercises and training
techniques on how to train a dog through video.
Of course, the latter are chosen because they
inevitably have a lower cost than a face-to-face
course taught by a trainer.

DOG TRAINING:IS THERE A "RIGHT" AGE?
The American Veterinary Society has outlined in
several articles how training should begin during
the first three months of a puppy's life.
Of course, the methodologies on how to train a
puppy are slightly different than for an adult dog.
Puppies learn quickly and adapt to any stimulus
from new environments.
At this age, curiosity overcomes fear. Similarly,
puppies can become fearful and aggressive if
left untrained during this crucial period.
In this period it is essential to expose puppies to
as many people, places and stimuli as possible.
In any case, the basic exercises that describe
how to train a puppy and how to train an adult
dog differ slightly.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO START TRAINING
EVEN AN ADULT DOG
Most trainers work with adult dogs, and great
results can always be achieved!
Adult dogs need trust in their owners first and
foremost. Once this bond of mutual respect has
been created, they can always be ready to begin
a path of formation.
It will be enough to arm yourself with a little
more patience than a puppy, but the results will
come anyway. And the satisfaction, we assure
you, will be even greater!

3. THE USE OF THE KENNEL
Although for some, the dog house may seem
like a taboo to be avoided at all costs, the reality
is that the dog has a fundamental need to have
a place of rest and security for himself.
Just as in nature they look for sheltered places
(at least on three sides) in which to hide, even a
domestic dog needs a place to take refuge at
times when he requires it.
In fact, we saw when we discussed dog carriers,
the importance of "shelter" for every dog,
whether he lives at home or outside.
A typical example is older dogs living with
younger dogs. The former, to be at peace with
the latter, will be placed in their cage, kennel or
carrier. And it is essential to teach puppies to
respect this space.
Another example concerns dogs that are afraid
of loud noises, such as thunder or lightning
storms. In the kennel they know that they will be
safe and will help them calm down.
Of course, the dog must be taught to become
familiar with this place. You will need to make
this experience a positive and enjoyable one .
Here are some key concepts to follow.
The kennel is also essential
for use in Car. A dog
accustomed to traveling in a
cage is one more dog quiet,
plus more safe for him and for
the the rest.
HOW TO TURN THE KENNEL INTO A REAL
DEN
Choose the right size bed. Make sure the area is
not too big or too small. It should be big enough
for him to turn around and stand up, but above
all it should be his den, a place where there is
no room for other dogs except for him.
Put a blanket or pillow inside the bed. (in some
cases the blanket is also on top, so that less
light enters). If your dog is a chewer, choose a
bite-proof bedding to make sure he doesn't
swallow it.
Include some of his favorite toys, in the puppy's
case (but only at the beginning: (toys should
NEVER be left lying on the floor)
Let the kennel be explored spontaneously the
first few times, without forcing him to enter.
Let your dog get comfortable by making it a
happy place; Some trainers recommend that you
only feed your dog inside the kennel.
WHAT TO ALWAYS AVOID IN PLACE
Do not use the kennel to punish your dog! Your
dog would associate it with negative
experiences and avoid it.
Don't let your dog out just because he is
barking. He will bark more if he learns that
barking sets him free.
Do not leave the dog in the kennel for too many
hours. Limit the time to two or three hours at a
time at most.

4. CORRECTION AND REWARD IN DOG
TRAINING
Numerous studies by the American Kennel
Society have shown how dog training is based
on the fundamental concepts of correction and
reward.
What is the solution ? It means teaching your
dog the difference between correct and incorrect
behavior. Correcting your puppy should never
include punishment, physical violence, or
spanking. Say a firm "No!" your dog, it will be
more than enough.
What is an award? These are the treats given to
the dog for a job well done! These treats can be
anything your dog likes, like a toy or his favorite
food. When your dog behaves like a "good dog",
he deserves a treat!
In the context of dog training, the use of rewards
should be extensive at the beginning of the
dog's training, but then it should be reduced to
sporadic, so that our dog learns to carry out
commands, even without the help of rewards.
Similarly, praise should always be plenty and
abundant when the dog is behaving well. It will
be a joy for him to see us happy!
HOW TO EDUCATE A DOG:
THE 6 BASIC COMMANDS
Let's now see the 6 FUNDAMENTAL
commands, which are essential for any dog to
learn. These are basic commands that allow the
dog to live safely both for himself and for others.
Learning at least this much would be very
important.
It is not difficult and will give you immense
satisfaction.
1) THE "SIT" COMMAND
The sit command, internationally recognized as
the "SIT" command, is the simplest and perhaps
the most important command in training a dog. It
is the basis of many other training techniques.
The sit command is usually the first command
that people teach their dogs. It sounds simple
enough, but it can play a vital role in managing
unwanted behavior.
For example, a dog cannot sit and jump at the
same time. By preparing the dog to sit, he has
begun the work necessary to keep him from
jumping. Also, training your dog to sit can help
him calm down and relax when needed.
How to train the dog to accept the command
"SIT”
1.- Hold a treat in your hand and stand in front of
your dog.
2.- Put the surprise on your pet's nose.
3.- Move your hand up, letting his head follow
the movement of your hand.
4.-If your dog lifts his head to bite his food, use
your other hand to guide his back until he sits
up.
5.- While he sits, say "Sit down" (or "Sit down").
6.- When your pet carries out the order, praise it
and reward it !!
Repeat this sequence several times a day until
your dog masters it.
A helpful step is to ask your dog to sit before
meals (in this case, the seat command is often
followed by "free" to give the go-ahead to go
eat), when out for walks, and in other situations
in which I like to be calm and sitting.
In these situations, it will be more difficult for him
to concentrate and will let you know if he has
fully learned the command.
2) LEAD DRIVING
Training your dog on foot without pulling is a
fundamental exercise.
Teaching your pet to walk beside you, rather
than in front of you, will make walks immensely
more enjoyable for both you and him.
–4–
5. HOW TO TRAIN A DOG NOT TO PULL ON THE
LEASH
1.- Put the collar and leash on the dog, but do
not go for a walk.
2.- Put your dog in a sitting position (possibly
on command).
3.- Hold the strap in your left hand.
4.- Place a toy or treat in the right hand above
the animal's head.
5.- Start walking with the toy in front of you
while saying the command "walk".
6.- Call your pet's attention to the treat or toy.
7.- If you are distracted or pushed forward, stop
walking immediately.
8.- When he pays attention again, praise your
dog and give him a treat.
9.- Once your dog gives you 30 seconds of
attention, start walking again.
10.- Increase the time before rewarding the dog
again.
11.- Repeat this process every day.
It is also one of the most difficult commands,
requiring enormous self-control from the
dog's point of view and infinite patience
from the owner's point of view.
We have previously seen a basic exercise to
teach the dog to respect the step, but there are
many different versions, each of them more
suitable for different types of dogs.
–5–
3) The "EARTH" command
This command is quite difficult for dogs to learn.
The benefits, however, are amazing. For
example, it is very useful because it can help
anxious or scared dogs to relax.
Ground command is important for several
reasons. First, like the sit command, it is
incompatible with some unwanted behavior. A
dog cannot jump while lying down. By teaching
to lie down on command, you have a tool for
managing several common behavior problems.
As we have seen, it is also very useful for
promoting relaxation in excited dogs, covering
up is also a prerequisite for some other
behaviors. For example, before a dog can be
trained to roll over or perform some other
behavioral exercise, he must know how to lie
down.
How to train a dog to command "EARTH”
1.- Take a nice scented surprise and hold it in
your closed hand.
2.- Put your hand on your dog's nose.
3.- Let the surprise/prize smell.
4.- As your pet feels it, move your hand towards
the ground.
5.- Allow your pet to follow your hand.
6.- After the dog is upside down, say "FLOOR".
7.- If the dog stays on the ground, congratulate
him with the "bravo" and reward him with the
prize.
8.- Repeat this exercise every day.
Note: Never push your dog down using force. If
your pet stands up, say "No" and remove your
hand. Eventually your dog will figure out the right
action to take.

6. RECOMMEND PRAISE HIM WHEN HE DOES
THE EXERCISE CORRECTLY AFTER ALL YOU
ARE WORKING HARD TO SOLVE IT
This can be one of the most difficult commands
in dog obedience training. Because? Because
the position is a submissive position. However,
you can help the dog by keeping the training
positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or
anxious dogs.
4) The "STILL" command
The "stay" command is very useful in many
situations.
It can simply serve to keep the dog quiet and out
of the way while we are cleaning the floor, as
well as it could save his life by preventing him
from being in dangerous situations.
If your dog knows how to sit still, you can handle
him well in public and in private. It can also allow
you to let the dog off leash and free in certain
situations where he must stop and stand on
command. (But be clear: he must master the
command very well.)
How to train the dog to command "STAY”
1.- Order your pet to sit down. (The sit or Sit is
preparatory and essential for the command
to remain!)
2.- Open the palm of your hand and turn it
towards him.
3.- Say "quiet".
4.- Take a step back.
5.- If your dog stays still, go back to him and
give him a reward and lots of praise.
6.- Increase the number of steps backwards you
take each time.
7.- Always reward your dog for the order made,
even for a short time.

Leadership is important and can also be fun for
the dog.
For example, you can associate "REMAIN" with
"FIND".
The Trov is a command that we will not see in
this article, because it is a little more advanced,
but it is an exercise that tires the dog a lot
because it forces him to use his sense of smell
and consequently tires him mentally.
REMEMBER, A TIRED DOG IS A HAPPY DOG.
Going back to the combination still + find: it is an
exercise that can also be done at home,
perhaps when it is raining outside.
We order the dog to sit and then to stay still.
Let's show them that we have a game/prize on
our hands and then quietly hide the game
around the house.
Let's go back to the dog and say: Find it!
The dog will be delighted to search everywhere
for the treat or treats, and learning the command
"QUIET" as well as the command "FIND" will be
positively associated with a beautiful exercise.
Of course, when he finds it.
PS: It's also a lot of fun for the owner.
5) The "OUTPUT" command
This command, literally, can turn out to be a
lifesaver when we realize that our dog is
chewing on a morsel whose origin we do not
know.
How to train a dog to command "GO OUT”
1.- Place a treat in both hands.
2.- Show your dog a clenched fist with the
surprise inside.
3.- Your dog will probably try to get food by
trying to open your hand with his snout.
4.- Say no!" to your dog
5.- Once you stop, praise your dog and give him
a treat, but NOT what he is holding.
6.- Next time, wait for your dog to move away
from your fist.
7.- Only give the treat to your dog when he
walks away. Make sure he is in eye contact
with you.
7. The command eat (or
returns) is really
important, both for
dangerous situations like
for everyday situations.
Success w h this training
4.- As he runs towards you, yell the command
"COME!" (or even return) so that it becomes
associated with returning to you.
5.- When he arrives, reward him by flattering him
with a hug and/or food prizes
6.- Repeat the exercise until the command
"come" the dog returns without using treats.
You can use the word come, just as the word
returns, it is indifferent. The important thing is
that later you learn to always use the same
word.
Just make sure, especially at first, that you
command your dog to come by associating the
command with positive situations. In this way, he
will always be happy to come to you, as he will
associate the return with positive feelings.
Practice this command frequently throughout the
dog's life, rewarding him with praise and treats.
It is a mandate that should never be forgotten!
Once your dog has mastered the first stage, you
are ready for intermediate training.
1.- Give your dog a toy (avoid his favorite toys
the first few times)
2.- Hold it in your mouth
3.- In one hand, hold a treat, but do not show it
to them.
4.- Give your dog the command "Release".
5. If he doesn't give up the toy, show him the
food reward and give it to him, only after he
has given up the toy.
6.- When he leaves the toy, give him the treat
and praise him!
“LEAVE” IS THE BASIC COMMAND USED TO
TELL THE DOG TO LEAVE SOMETHING IT
HAS ALREADY PICKED UP
This command can prevent him from eating
anything noxious and poisonous, as well as
make him realize that it's no good eating his
favorite pair of shoes.
6) The command "COME" (or return)
The "come" command is the cornerstone of
retreat and can save you a lot of exasperation
and frustration.
You can use it to draw your dog closer to you if
your leash slips, to let him in quickly from the
yard, or to tell him to come over for a hug!
How to train the dog to command "COME”
1.- Sit in a fairly spacious and distraction-free
place a few feet away from your dog.
2.- If there are two of you, ask a second person
to hold the dog away from you.
3.- Call the dog by his name and wait for him to
listen to you.
