Your furry friend will love the mental stimulation and the chance to show off their intelligence. So, let’s get started!
Paws up! Let’s take your pup’s skills to the next level!
1. "Speak" and "Quiet" commands
The "Speak" command is a fun and useful command that teaches your dog to bark on cue. Start by saying "Speak" and then waiting for your dog to bark. When they do, reward them with a treat and praise. Once they’ve mastered this, you can then teach them the "Quiet" command. Say "Quiet" and then immediately show them a treat. When they stop barking to sniff the treat, say "Good Quiet" and give them the treat.
2. "Find It" command
The "Find It" command is a fun game that will stimulate your dog’s mind and senses. Start by hiding a treat somewhere in the room and then say "Find It." Encourage your dog to search for the treat and reward them when they find it. You can gradually increase the difficulty by hiding the treat in different locations or hiding multiple treats.
3. "Heel" command
The "Heel" command is an essential command for walking your dog in busy areas or around distractions. Start by holding a treat close to your dog’s nose and then say "Heel." Walk forward with your dog by your side and reward them with the treat every few steps. Gradually increase the distance and time they walk by your side.
With these advanced dog training commands, you’ll have a well-behaved and mentally stimulated furry friend. Remember to be patient and consistent in your training, and always reward your pup for their hard work. Happy training!
