Shep should also respond to a whistle command to come or at least get a bearing on you. fastest way to train this command? find a dog treat they luv and never give it to them - ever - unless they are properly executing the command. dogs should only be rewarded with things they want (treats, effection) when they are doing what they're supposed to. only idiots give there young dogs rewards for being cute... at least during their prime training months. 2-NO, if you can't get your dog to immediately stop whatever its doing, freeze in its tracks and look back at you waiting for the green light your an idiot. I say "your an idiot" because the dog obviously only knows what you teach it and without these 2 commands hard wired there's a good chance it will do something stupid i.e. somehow put itself in harms way... which is your fault. the next commands for non-idiot dog handlers are sit, down, stay, heal and lick the peanut butter... if you can get your dog to walk beside or behind you and mirror your movements off leash you will be a dog master. nothing more gratifying than having your dog listen to you because as you eventually marry and have kids the dog will eventually be the only one listening to you. caesar (dog whisperer) is the man. pretty simple message every show. a little common sense, a lot of exercise & dominance cures all. as a dude who goes to the cities biggest yuppie dog park and watches many a disobedient dog/stupid handler I suggest 2 commands must be taught in order for you to not be an idiot yuppie dog owner…

1-COME, if your dog doesn’t come 100% of the tiume when you call it your an idiot. Shep should also respond to a whistle command to come or at least get a bearing on you. fastest way to train this command? find a dog treat they luv and never give it to them - ever - unless they are properly executing the command. dogs should only be rewarded with things they want (treats, effection) when they are doing what they’re supposed to. only idiots give there young dogs rewards for being cute… at least during their prime training months.

2-NO, if you can’t get your dog to immediately stop whatever its doing, freeze in its tracks and look back at you waiting for the green light your an idiot.

I say “your an idiot” because the dog obviously only knows what you teach it and without these 2 commands hard wired there’s a good chance it will do something stupid i.e. somehow put itself in harms way… which is your fault.

the next commands for non-idiot dog handlers are sit, down, stay, heal and lick the peanut butter…

if you can get your dog to walk beside or behind you and mirror your movements off leash you will be a dog master.

nothing more gratifying than having your dog listen to you because as you eventually marry and have kids the dog will eventually be the only one listening to you.
