Give Your Dog One Command At A Time
June 19th, 2008
If you want your dog to sit, tell him SIT! If your dog decides to ignore the command the first time, gently place him into the sit position and then praise him.
Do this with every command, so that your dog doesn’t think that your commands are optional. Stick to the ONE command rule, and your dog will quickly learn to take your commands seriously.
Clearly define your commands. If you expect your dog to follow commands, then it is imperative that he understands what it is that you want him to do.
For example, if you are trying to teach him to sit you will only confuse him if one time you use the command SIT and the next time SIT DOWN.
If he’s confused he’ll most likely just ignore you. And this can lead to a vicious cycle. So, pay attention to the commands you are teaching and don’t confuse your dog by being inconsistent.
