The reason, Koogle, the reason that I like this type of a sequence, if I address a singular dog, such as my dog Koogle, I want him to know I'm particularly talking to him. If I'm addressing a pack of dogs, I will more, more times than not address the pack as dogs. If it's just you and your dog, it's important to let your dog know, Koogle, that I'm talking directly to that dog. For example, I will say Koogle sit. Good sit. Name, command, praise command. This sequence you can use for the majority of commands with your dog."
