I honestly, dont care about most things- I don't invite my dogs on the furniture, I don't care if they jump on me, I don't care if they heal perfectly- but to me DROP IT- is one command they MUST know.
So what is the most important command in your house?! |
COME COME COME...that is the most important, especially if your dog escapes and starts running away. COME COME COME. They have to understand that and what it means. THen you can play with Down, Sit, heal, No, release, etc. Carlo has several words that were ingrained in his brain housing group when he was Personal Protection trained. While he sometimes pretends not to hear sit or down, he Comes, and when given his GO TO word, he fires up in a heatbeat, and another word brings him bback to reality. Fortunately never had to say them in a life or death situation, and that is good for the bad guy! COME COME COME
