What is Basic Obedience Training? Advice on How to Succeed
Basic obedience training is important for any dog, whether they’re 6 weeks old, or 10 years old.
What is basic obedience training? Basic obedience training is the process of teaching your dog commands such as “sit”, “down”, “come”, “shake”, “up”, etc. These commands don’t always have a purpose other than entertainment, such as “shake” and “up”, but the “sit”, “down”, and “come” commands have use in everyday life with your dog.
Most people will say that the “stay”, “wait”, and “leave it” commands are also in the basic obedience training category, and they’re right. Among the first and most basic commands, “stay”, “wait”, and “leave it” are usually in there. It could be said, however, that these commands also fall into the “impulse control” training category, which will be discussed in a different entry.
