Commands (i.e. "Sit!")
Growly/Low--Use for reprimanding (i.e. "Bad Dog!")
2. Give a command only once. This teaches your dog to listen

distracts from training.
4. Recall (or "Come") is the most pleasant of all commands for
your dog. Never reprimand a dog that finally

comes to you...even
if you had to chase him through the neighborhood before he
obeyed. He needs to know that you will lavish praise and pet him
when he comes to you!
5. Training not to jump up on people and furniture is best done
with a metal can or box with 10 pennies, stones or marbles taped
inside. For convenience, it is a good idea to have several cans

various areas throughout your home. Shake the can up
and down once or twice whenever your dog jumps up. Remember to
reprimand with the low tone at the same time. The noise will
startle the dog and eventually the behavior will stop.
