These are the commands that we use at the Club.
It is important that all members of your family learn these commands and use them correctly
|

|
|
|
|
GOOD DOG
The most important ‘command’ of all. Use it often, whenever your dog is really trying to do what you want. Praise reinforces good behaviour.
|
|
|
OK
A release word. Used to release the dog from a previous command. The dog is then free to do what it likes, until given another command
|
|
|
Sit (Sit UP)
The dog must sit and remain sitting until given another command or the release word ‘OK’
|
|
|
Down (LAY Down)
The dog must lay down and remain down until given another command or the release word ‘OK’
|
|
|
Sit Down The impossible command
Think! Your dog can’t sit and lay down at the same time.
Never say this. Sit and Down are two separate commands.
|
|
|
Heel
The dog should walk on your left side, under control, on a slack lead, without pulling, dragging or stopping
|
|
|
Come
Whatever it is doing, the dog must immediately return to you and sit facing you.
|
|
|
NO!
Stop what you are doing immediately. Used to stop any unwanted behaviour, including jumping up. Don’t use ‘down’ for this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stand
The dog must stand and remain standing until given another command or the release word ‘OK’
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wait
The dog must remain in its current position (sit, down or stand) without moving and wait for another command, which may be given from a distance.
|
|
|
Stay
The dog must remain in its current position (sit, down or stand) without moving and stay until you return and give it the release word OK.
