Basic Dog Commands For Labrador Retrievers
from:Labrador Retrievers are intelligent and obedient dogs, making
them easier to train in becoming good working and assistance
dogs. But before any advance training, they should first master
the basic dog commands. These basic dog commands are helpful in
obedience training in order to come up with a desirable dog
everyone loves. These basic commands are come, sit, down and
stay.
Come Command Training come command is easier when your dog is on
leash and in a quiet setting to prevent the dog from being
distracted. Say your dog's name firmly and slowly pull the dog
toward you. As he begins to come forward, give the command
"come" and praise him when he is right in front of you. Repeat
the procedure until he has mastered it and responds to it
immediately. Once mastered, you can then later increase the
distance between you and your dog. Then try the command without
leash in an enclosed place.
Sit Command Training the sit command is best done with a leash.
Place him on a leash in front of you, hold a treat in front of
your dog's nose and move it upward. The head will move to follow
your hand therefore pushing his rear to the ground. As soon as
your dog begins to sit, give the command "sit". Praise him and
give him the treat.
Down Command The down command can be started with sit command.
When your dog is in sitting position, hold his collar firmly
with your one hand and have a treat on the other hand. Slowly
move the treat from your dog's nose to the floor. Naturally, he
will lower himself to follow your hand with the treat. Give the
command "down" as he approaches the floor. Praise him and give
him the treat.
Stay Command The sit command can be started with a down command
or sit command. When your dog is in down or sitting position,
use your hand as a signal and say the word "stay". Slowly back
away and if the dog begins to follow you, come back to the dog
and give him the down or sit command again. Repeat the process
until the dog can reliably stay where you want him to stay. It
is better not to sue food as a reward in training this command
because he may become too excited making him unable to stay.
When the command requires the aid of treats, it is advisable
that the treats should be placed in a closed fist so that the
dog can only smell but not see them. When the dog sees the treat
before you give the command, he will learn only to obey when you
have a food in your hands. It is just like bribing your dog to
follow you. Labrador Retrievers are obedient dogs and you do not
have force them to obey your command. Remember that dog training
requires patience and of course a lot of praise.
