Grown-Up Stuff: How to Adult

NOTE

Teaching Basic Dog Commands

Establishing a good relationship between the dog and the owner starts with effective communication, which can be facilitated through basic commands. Key commands for every puppy include 'eye contact,' which fosters a connection and enhances communication; 'lie down,' to promote calmness and prevent mischief; and 'settle on an object,' which provides a designated spot for the dog to relax. 'Leash walking' is crucial, focusing on polite walking without pulling, allowing for a more enjoyable experience for both the dog and the owner. Additionally, commands like 'drop it' ensure safety by preventing dogs from ingesting harmful items, while 'leave it' serves as a proactive measure to deter dogs from engaging in undesirable behaviors. All these commands can be effectively taught using positive reinforcement techniques.
