Basic Dogs Training Guide

So many apps make dog training seem harder than it needs to be—as though you need a degree to teach a dog to SIT. But here’s the truth: if you just spend a few fifteen-minute sessions a day, in seven days your dog can go from a blank slate—or even one with a few flaws.

My methods are easy because I know what works and what doesn’t. I’ve had a lot of years to figure out the quickest way from point A to point B. I’ll start with the basics: trust and bonding, focus and control. Then I’ll tackle obedience with my 7 Common Commands. Over the years, I’ve found that these few commands (SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, OFF, HEEL, and NO) are the essentials—the ABCs of obedience.

Once you’ve got basic obedience under control, I’ll turn your attention to behavior problems. Does your dog have an issue that needs to be dealt with? If so, you can choose to live with that problem or to fix it. If your dog has a bad habit like jumping up on your guests, barking all the time, darting through doors, digging holes in the yard, or marking in the house, I’ll teach you how to quickly and efficiently bring that behavior to an end.
