Ever wonder what dog obedience training commands you should be using with your dog? Teaching your dog to respond to commands achieves three important goals:
1. It helps establish a more balanced relationship between you and your dog.
2. It promotes a vocabulary that your dog understands… a way of communicating with him/her.
3. It is a useful tool for exercising your dog’s mind and body.
The following is a list of 11 commonly used dog obedience training voice commands used by professional dog trainers:
