Dog training

Dog training is when you work with your dog to train them to do specific behaviors. It helps your dog learn how to follow your commands and do things like sit, stay, and come when you call them. You start by teaching your dog simple commands like sit and stay. You can do this by giving them treats or a toy when they do what you want. As your dog learns more commands, you can challenge them by asking them to do more difficult things, like retrieve an object or come back to you from farther away. With patience and practice, your dog will learn how to follow your commands and you'll both have a lot of fun doing it!
