Commands
O. No- If you catch your dog in the process of a mistake, announce in a calm but firm voice “no”, and then take him outdoors
P. Sit-The easiest way to teach “sit” is to start with the dog in a standing position in front of you. It’s best if your dog is somewhat hungry. Hold a bit of food high over his head and bring your hand back slowly passing the food across the dog’s nose. As his nose is raised in the direction of the food, he will automatically sit as he follows your hand. Say “sit” in a calm, controlled voice. When he is sitting, praise him and give him the treat
Q. Down-“Down” is the next command you may want to teach. Once he is in a sitting position in front of you, hold a piece of food in your hand and raise your hand over your head, slowly bring your hand down over the dog with fingers together but outstretched. Once again as the food passed his nose he will lower his body as he raises his nose. Say “down” in a calm, controlled voice. When he is “down” give him praise and also the treat. I
R. Stay-Raise your hand in front of the dog with fingers together palms down; slowly bring your hand closer to your dogs nose. Take a step away and when he stays give him a treat. Gradually increase your steps away from him, slowly increasing his “stay” time
S. Come- After he has learned to “stay” while you are on the other side of the yard you will want to give him his reward by holding your arm straight out to your side, parallel with the ground. Now move your arm forward slowly so your hand touches the opposite shoulder and say “come”. This will be a natural instinct for him so it will not be hard to enforce. Reward him with praise and a tidbit.
