In this article, we shall be focusing on a list of basic dog commands that you necessarily need to teach your dog. These are fairly easy commands to follow and can help you in a wide array of ways. These are easier to teach as well, and the dog is likely to learn them pretty quick if you are repeating them over and over again.

The command of ‘down’:- Teaching the command of ‘down’ is very important. However, compared to most of the other commands such as sit, and come, this is a fairly rough command to do with. Why? This is a submissive position that we are talking about. Make sure that you do not hasten the process. Keep the learning process relaxed as the dog can easily get anxious under these circumstances. hence make sure that you are able to work on it subtly, rather than forcing yourself and the command down on the dog. This is how you do it:

-take a good smelling treat that your dog is likely to dote upon and put it inside a closed fist. Take it close to the snout of the dog and make sure he smells it. This will be fairly compelling for the dog. After that gently lower the hand to the level of the ground, which is basically the floor. Do not force your dog or push him into the down position. Encourage the dog in every step it takes. Understand the dog is trying hard to figure it out by himself, and it is natural to take time to learn this particular command.

The command of ‘stay’:- Making the dog learn the command of stay is absolutely important. Before you start the training for this, you need to train it for the ‘sit’ command. You need to make it sit to learn the stay command. So make him sit and after that, open your palm wide in front of you and ask it to stay. Take a few steps back. It may take a while for him to master this, but when he does give it a try, reward him with treat and affection.

Remember that rewarding is a very important concept here. Rewarding will help the doc learn the commands and comprehend it very quickly than otherwise. As the training progresses over days and over time, make sure that you keep on increasing the steps gradually after you stay stop and before you give him the treat. This way he understands what it really means and he will learn the command sooner than it should and would.

remember that, training the dog to learn the commands is a fairly gradual and progressive process and it may take some time before the dog masters all of the rudimental and important commands. So take it slow. Be patient and affectionate towards the dog.
