Being a dog lover, I observe dogs very closely.  I have noticed one thing that mostly dog will get bored if you are teaching them in long sessions.  If you try to teach them continuously for around 20-25 minutes, they will get bored and start neglecting your command.  So always go for 5-7 minute short sessions to teach him few basic Dog Training Commands.  Try to repeat these sessions again and again on same day.

Here we will discuss few basic Dog Training Commands:

• Sit – is the most basic command every dog should know.  Mostly dogs learn this command very easily and it will make your dog sit at very point when you use this command,
• Leash Training – is another important command for all dogs and puppies.  Don’t ever try to be harsh with your dog by pulling and dragging him.  Let him leash properly and walk with you.  Give them proper time to learn this command.  Don’t try to scare them or scold them during this training.
• Heel – is another basic Dog Training Command.  Dog always feel comfortable while walking beside you .If he start walking in front of you ,you can bring him beside you by using word “Heel”.   Don’t pull your puppy if he’s walking forward .Teach this command properly to get good communication with your dog .
