Below are the commands your dog will learn during our board and train programs and what we will teach you during our one on one training sessions. We will provide you with a new thick round rope leash and training collar, so you can continue training with proper equipment.
1) HEEL - We will train your dog to heel on the left side, collar even with pants seam or leg.
2) GO TO HEEL - When dog gets out of position, we will train your dog to go back to your left side.
3) STOP - When coming to halt we will train your dog to stop when you stop walking.
4) ABOUT - We will train your dog to change directions with you without pulling.
5) SIT - We will train your dog to sit, sit and stay and teach a hand signal to sit.
6) DOWN - We will train your dog go down, down and stay and teach a hand signal to go down.
7) STAY - We will train your dog to stay, sit/stay, down/stay and stay if standing.
8) WAIT - We will train your dog to come to you at a later time, teach a hand signal to wait and to wait before entering and leaving doorways.
9) COME - We will train your dog to come to you and teach a hand signal to come.
10) LEAVE IT - Ignore what ever it is. Example, always sniffing the ground when walking or trying to pick up something with mouth.
11) LEFT OR RIGHT - We will train your dog to turn left or right when heeling in those directions.
12) OFF - We teach off when jumping or on items such as furniture.
13) OK - Release command
14) NO - Please only use this word when verbally correcting your dog for unwanted behavior.
15) DOORWAYS - We will train your dog to stop and wait before entering in and out of doorways.
16) KENNEL - We will fully kennel train your dog if they are not already kennel trained.
Please continue using the exact words and hand signs when we return your dog to maintain commands and performance. Please do this when ever you are interacting with you dog. We never punish our dogs for not performing a command. We simply work with the dog over and over until they get it right and then use positive reinforcement and PRAISE as the reward system. Remember, your dog needs to get used to you taking full leadership over them once they return home. We will teach you the appropriate hand signs and how to handle your dog going forward at the end of the process at our location with a one on one training session with you and your dog. All commands are easy for dog owners to learn to easily maintain your dogs new skills.
