What commands should my dog know?
Basic obedience typically includes essential commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and heel, along with leash manners and attention to the handler. These skills create a foundation for better communication and everyday control.
What’s the difference between basic obedience and advanced obedience?
Basic obedience establishes foundational commands, leash skills, focus, and handler communication. Advanced obedience builds on that foundation with greater precision, reliability, distance, duration, and more challenging distractions.
Can adult dogs learn basic obedience?
Yes. Adult dogs can learn new commands and improve existing skills. Training is adapted to the dog’s current experience, temperament, and learning pace.
How long does it take to teach basic obedience?
The timeline varies depending on the dog’s previous training, consistency, temperament, and the skills being taught. Regular practice and consistent communication help dogs develop more reliable obedience over time.
