Dogs are wonderful pets and companions and most dogs live with people who want them to behave in a way that makes them pleasant to be around, keeps them safe, and provides for the safety of other people and pets. Dogs do not figure out basic obedience on their own; they must be trained. Some dog breeds are typically easier to train than others but no breed is impossible to obedience train. Owners just need to be patient, reward desired behavior, correct undesired behavior and seek the advice and help of dog training experts when needed.
In this free video series on the basics of dog training, a canine behavior trainer will take you through the basic set of pet obedience behaviors. She will help you teach your dog to lure sit, sit on approach, sit when distractions are present, sit to be petted, sit as you move away and sit in strange places. These basic dog obedience behaviors will allow you to spend more time with your dog and make both of you happier, safer, and best friends.
