Basic Dog Obedience Training Command
I cannot emphasize more the value of obedience training for your dog. Besides it is very substantial to the well being of your dog and your own happiness in owning a dog.
Dog owners would absolutely enjoy more sharing a house, a car or even spending the time together walking your dog in the public, when your dog can be told to eliminate outside (house training), to come, to sit or to stay easily at your direction.
Obedience Training also show very clear sign of responsible ownership, it is so widely known that if your dog can display these basic obedience commands as well as walking on leash with ease and some other simple task, your dog can earn the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen Certification.
This Certification is a testimony that your dog is sociable, well behaved and not dangerous to people in general. In some state this CGC Certification is a benchmark of your dog behavior and responsible dog ownership.
Dog owners more than others those who are new in general faces difficulty in training their dog, it is because they do not understand that dogs think and act different from us. They failed to make much development in dog training because they failed to realize that dog communicate differently from us.
The major mistake made by new dog owners is having a lot of command and inconsistency in their training routines. Remember that consistency is very important, do not say 2 words for the same of action that you want your dog to obey.
Here below are some commonly used basic dog obedience commands that you should start with prior going to other more advance command, that will aid you as dog owner to feel comfortable bringing your dog for a walk in the park or in public areas.
Come: this command is used to recall your dog
Sit: this command tell your dog to be in sitting position.
Stay: the dog must keep still in any position whether it is sitting, down or in that location where the command is given until released by you
Down: this command tells the dog to go down with its front feet and rear legs are touching the ground.
Here are some tips how you can really improve the effectiveness and the rate of your dog learning:
1. At all times you must use the same command words and in the same tone or speed of speaking
2. Have tolerance, your dog will fail you.
3. The dog has single track mind, teach one thing at a time, do not try to teach a lot of command in one single training session
4. When your dog did anything right or wrong, your rewards and punishment should come almost immediately. Do not punish or reward after a long time break from the act itself because your dog will not be able to relate the two.
5. Increase bonding with your dog by bringing him out for an exercise or play with him. All training session should be based on this relationship.
6. Prior training your dog, you should get highly regarde dog training manual and go through it thoroughly before starting your dog training session. It is harder to ask your dog to unlearn wrong things than learning new things
7. Never call your dog to come to you to punish, you will give them wrong understanding that the word come means punishment.
8. Do not permit other people to give any command to your dog especially when you are training him.
9. Do not train your dog when you are not in the mood or when you are not feeling well.
10. Never get violence with your dog.
Obedience Training is a clear sign of responsible dog ownership. Every responsible dog owner should endeavor to train his/her dog to at least acquire these basic obedience skills.

Put your hand near it to make it stay. Say stay
You can do the same and say sit

Just pat on the ground or yourself to show it to go there

i taught indie sit by putting a treat over her head and she would back up to watch it and ended up sitting down. Stay is something that you have to wait until they can comprehend it, but you start in sitting and have them stay in a sitting position for 10 seconds and work up. Once you have stay down you can work on come.

Honestly the best way is to take a training class. Ask whoever is getting you the dog about helping you with a training class- they will know you are responsible and serious about the dog!!!
There are so many sites that will tell you how to train– but when I went to a training class, I learned a TON and it was so fun. A lot of the stuff I learned before the class was WRONG and my dog’s behavior was SO much better after teaching her the methods used by a professional trainer.
DON’T push her butt down to make her sit like one person said— my aunt trained guide dogs, and said this is the WORST thing- it could really harm their back!!!

sit- frist say the command the push lightly on the dog butt till she sits then reward with a treat and praise then just do it again and again
after the dog knows the command you are ready for lay down
say the command the lightly push till she lays down continue with praise and treats
the tell the dog to sit then slowly move back while tell the dog to stay if the dog doesnt stay just say no the walk the dog back to the place where it was sitting repeat the dog will learn
thats how i taught my dogs.. lol also taught them to shake, roll over, and speak thats all

First show the dog the desired action and then give the action a name.
To show the action of sitting to a puppy just kneel in front of it, with a cookie in your hand that the puppy knows that you have pass your hand from in front of it’s face over the top of it’s head. The pup will naturally put it’s butt down in order to watch your hand.

I begin by sitting on the floor (at the dogs level) with my legs open so the dog can be close. I gently, physically put him in the sit while I cheerfully give the command, "sit" in a staccato voice. Same for the down.
Lots of gentle praise with petting, cuddling to further the bond and reinforce what you’re teaching the dog.
I begin the recall with random association. If the dog is on it’s way towards me, I reinforce it by using and emphasizing the word "come" in whatever I say, such as, "Good come, Buster!". Tons of praise are always necessary with the recall. No dog will want to come to their person if there’s any possibility of reprimand.
I worry about teaching the recall several months down the road. No "toddler" pup is ready to learn that just yet. Use the word you’ll teach whenever the opportunity rises. Such as when you put the dog on a lead and "reel him in".
I had Dobies for about 10 years, they’re without a doubt one of my all time favorites! A class act hound, in my book.
Best of luck!

websites and books and stuff on the internet aren’t going to appropriately help you learn to train a dog. You can talk to the responsible, knowledgeable breeder you are obtaining the pup from as they will want to help in any and all ways they can – you can line up now a good, motivational obedience trainer to help YOU learn to properly train a dog. If you can’t even recall training then please get help as you can easily be outsmarted by a Doberman – they are easily trained but they will easily train a person that is lacking in capability. I have trained Dobermans for over fifty years, successfully in a number of venues, and I can tell you with certainty that you need to locate a good obedience class/instructor to help teach you to best interact with and train your dog.

Obedience training for dogs is a task all your family can get involved with and do yourselves, alternatively you can pay someone else to do this for you however it’s important that you do something if you want your dog to listen to and obey your every command.

Carla, I am not familar with what Boric Acid Powder is. My guess would be baking soda? Also, I am not familar with what Gentian Violet Solution is either. It sounds like something my wife would add to her bath. Could you please tell me what these ingredients are and if my local drug store will have them.

Food allergies are usually pretty specific and it seems so unusual that he would be allergic to raw and kibble.
