  • At first glance, dog tricks seem to be more like parlor tricks than anything useful. But the truth is quite the contrary; in fact, dog tricks promote very healthy and obedient behavior amongst dogs. The goal is to teach a dog five basic tricks: stay, come, sit, heel, and leave alone.
    Teach A Dog The Trick Of Stay
    Stay is one of the best dog tricks that can counteract bad behavior. Instead of a muddy dog making tracks throughout the house, why not teach it to stay on command, and save yourself the frustration of cleaning?
    Training a dog to stay can be somewhat difficult. Reward the dog when you declare Stay, and the dog doesn't move towards you. Eventually, the dog will learn through association of benefit that Stay means to stay put until further command.
    Teach A Dog The Trick Of Come
    Come is a rather easy command to teach, mostly because dogs can be curious creatures. Every time you say Come and make a gesture, they usually perform this task on their own. But to really engrave it into the dog's mind, a treat should be given upon successful completion.
    This command is very useful when a dog becomes distracted and is pondering chasing a rabbit, for instance. Instead of chasing the dog all over town (and the rabbit, coincidentally), try stating Come! with a firm voice you'll be surprised at the results.
