Commands-working commands mentally stimulates and improves a dog’s cognition, adding to a balanced life for them. Practicing daily in a variety of settings will build trust and confidence. As your dog learns and listens to commands life will become more enjoyable for you all as a family. Commands that will be taught: name recognition, hand and voice commands for sit, down, stay, heel, off, leave it, drop it, no mouthing, on leash recall, place, and other behavioral issues you may be dealing with.
