Good Dog!

Sit, Stay, Laydown…Good dog!

• A well trained dog does not bother your guests.
• A well trained dog does not come when called.
• A well trained dog does not pull the leash. 
• A well trained dog does not jump on people.
• A well trained dog does not beg at the table.
• A well trained dog does listen to commands when given.
• A well trained dog does go to their spot and chill out.
• A well trained dog does walk on a loose leash.
• A well trained dog does welcome guests without harassing.

An untrained dog has less privileges and interactions with your family. When friends come over to visit, your dog is ushered into his cage or another room to avoid jumping. When the family is having dinner, back to the cage he is sent to avoid begging.  He is only allowed off leash in the backyard, anywhere else he will run and you will have to chase him down.

Dogs are social animals. They love to interact with their family members on a regular basis. Depriving your dog of regular family time is one of the cruelest forms of punishment. Spending quality time with your dog training him to be the beloved family member you brought him home to be is best for the family.

Remember sit, stay, and down are the building blocks for a well-trained dog!
