just a few short training sessions. Once

the dog demonstrates a grasp of the

concepts of these commands while on a

leash, training with collar stimulations can

be introduced, while keeping the dog on

the leash.

Before you being training, put a leash on

the dog, and select an area with minimal

distractions.
The first command that you will teach the

dog is the “heel” command.

With the dog at your side on a leash,

command the dog to “heel” and begin

walking forward while gently pulling on

the leash.

If the dog gets in front of you, repeat

the command “heel,” and move in

another direction or pull back on the

leash.

If the dog starts to lag behind you,

lightly tug on the leash to bring the

dog back to your side.

Reward the dog with praise when the dog

obeys the command.

Before you being training, put a leash on

the dog, and select an area with minimal

distractions. Before you train to sit and

stay, you should first train to "heel."
The actual command is “sit,” and the

“stay” is implied. When you command the

dog to sit, the dog should stay until you

indicate otherwise.

Begin training this command walking

the dog on a leash in the heel

position.

Stop walking, pull up on the leash,

and command the dog to "sit."

Maintain steady pressure on the leash

until the dog obeys the command.

If the dog does not obey and seems

confused, gently push down on the

dog's back above the flank, to make

the dog sit.

Reward the dog with praise when the dog

sits and stays.
