Meanings for Simple Dog Training Commands

Before starting the dog training, you should know the logic behind each and every command. The exercises your pup will learn are all meaningful.

Logic for Each Simple Dog Command

SIT: An exercise of control. The pup is in a sitting position,calm and under control. If his rear is on the floor, he cannot be jumping round, thrashing about, ramming himself into you or your friends. The pup is under control.

STAND: The pup is an upright position, on all 4’s. This exercise enables grooming, vet visits, bathing or nail cutting much,much easier because the pup learns to stand still for an examination.

RECALL: Your pup will learn to COME back to you no matter what is going on around it. The importance of this exercise goes without saying, IT IS LIFESAVING and extremely important.

HEEL: This is a movement exercise where the pup learns to walk quietly beside you without struggling, jumping or pulling on the leash. You will take your pup for a walk rather than the other way around.

DOWN: Another exercise of control. The pup is positioned in a lying down position. This is a calming exercise you will use repeatedly whenever you want the pup to settle down and have quiet time.

LET’S GO: This is the energy burn off exercise that will help save your house from destruction. As an added bonus, you are teaching the puppy to move from one area to another with you, within a certain perimeter of yourself. Taught properly, this is a handy command for later on when your pup is trained and ready to be off of the leash.

Hiking trails, parks, beaches or just in-yard use would be the most likely places to use this. Perhaps dog sports are in your pup’s future. This foundation command works well for keeping your dog with you in agility.
