Hi fellas(Ladys)

 

Starting to get the dog used to commands now and was wondering what ones do you;s think are the best and what hand sign to go with it? also what way is best to train her with commands? reward?treat? a few i need to work on is sit/heel/stay.. she can sit after a while but its a pain.

 

Shes a lurcher x greayhound x colly

 

Cheers in advance

the best command for any dog is " watch it " only joking i usualy get my dog retriving by throwing a ball and when it brings it back just reward it with a treat mate simple reilly unless yoo have got a c**t of a dog lol atb.

start them with basic stuff e.g like sit,lie down,paw,fetch then start jumping and other stuff

Get a whistle for recall, stick it on the zipper of your coat and teach him to come to the sound of it instead of shouting your head off. You will be glad you did on a windy night. Get down low and act excited to see him come back - give him a treat and make a fuss when he comes back. Just dont hit him for not coming back.

 

Sit and Stay are the same thing so when you get him to 'sit' then that means sit where the dog is and stay there until you come over or say 'go on'. At the start just walk him on lead for a bit, then stop - tell him to sit, if he wont then keep your cool and just jerk the lead back and make him sit - then walk a few paces and repeat the command - do this until he does it first time. When does sit the first time then praise him and keep walking for another 5 minutes and then get him to sit again. When he is ok with the sit on the lead then try it off lead. Train him every day and repeat all the commands.
