10 Voice Commands That Are Commonly Used In Dog Obedience Training
The following is a list of 10 commonly used voice commands for dog obedience training:
1. “Come”: This command is used to bring the dog to the owner.
2. “Down”: This command is used to make the dog go to the ground lying face down.
3. “Heel”: This command is used to make the dog walk to the owner’s left side. It is also used to make the dog go to heel position from the come-fore position.
4. “No”: This is used to let the dog know that he has done something wrong.
5. “Sit”: This command is used to make the dog sit down.
6. “Stand”: This is used to bring the dog up on all four feet.
7. “Stay”: This command is used to keep the dog in either the sitting or the standing position.
8. “Fetch” or “Take it”: This command is used to make the dog take an object from either off the ground or the hand.
9. “Find it” or “Look for it”: This is used to make the dog seek for an object that he recognizes only by smell such as tracking or seeking a lost article.
10. “Hup”: This command is used to make the dog jump.
Taking the voice commands to an entirely different level is what ensues when your dog is in the show ring. Creating an environment in the initial stages of the obedience training is critical for you and the dog as well as any others with whom the dog will be in contact and working on a regular basis. Especially since it is very likely that the handler in the show arena will not be the owner, although this does not always occur.
Being consistent in the behaviors you are desiring of your dog, and being certain that you reinforce each attempt at the behavior until the patterns have been well established will require patience, love, understanding and devotion. Also, lots of treats!
