No Time to Train? Yes You Do!!

Everyday places to use commands. You should spend your time training the dog for these beforehand, and also preparing them for the everyday distractions.   If you haven't proofed your dog, you may spend some time training these to put some polish on the commands, but soon your dog will be responding as you want in these everyday situations.



1. At Sit Down Human Meals-sit on the dog, down stays, place,

2. Getting the Groceries in-heel, sit at door, stay,

3. Letting the Dog Out/In-come, stay, release

4. When People Visit-sit stay for greetings, down stay for visiting humans, place,

5. When Distractions are Visible at the Window-come, let's go, quiet, down stay,

6. When active animals are on the tv-Quiet, sit, down, heel, stay or any command where distraction makes it more challenging
7. When on your dog walk-heel, sit, stay,

8.  When going to the mall with your dog in the car-down in the car (especially useful for backing up so your dog is not in your rear view), sit before going in car, sit or down stay before coming out of car,  can do long down when in car,

9.  At the veterinarian or groomers-heel into vets office, sit stays at counter, stand for exam, down stay for exam, sit stay for exam,

10.  On a busy city sidewalk-heel, sit and auto sit while heeling,

Remember if you don't use it, you WILL loose it.
