Basic on-leash obedience...
Basic obedience is more than just teaching your dog to sit and lay down on command. It is the key to having a wonderful relationship with your canine companion. Basic obedience is considered an absolute must for dog ownership. The reason for training basic obedience is to open a line of communication between you and your dog to more cleary understand one another. Seventy percent of behavioral issues will disappear by teaching basic obedience alone, and the thirty percent that remain will become easier than ever to solve. Most dogs live to have a job to do, and generally that job is pleasing you, the owner. Giving your dog a job will diminish stress and bordem, removing any anxiety and restlessness. Just as regular exercise is important for your dog's body, obedience training is important to get your dog's mind working and will wear him out.
Basic on-leash obedience means that all the commands are done on leash. This gives you the control you need to make your dog mind. All commands are taught verbally, as well as with hand signals. Along with the commands, you will learn how to proof your dog around every day life distractions, making them a value to have when you are out of the house.
