Mastering Basic Dog Commands: Sit, Stay, and Come

Introduction

Training your dog with basic commands like sit, stay, and come is crucial for a harmonious household. These commands not only help in managing your dog's behavior but also enhance their safety and your ability to communicate with them effectively. Let’s explore how to master these fundamental basic dog training commands and create a well-behaved, happy dog.

Understanding Basic Dog Training Commands

What are Basic Dog Commands?

Basic dog commands are essential instructions that every dog should learn. These include commands like sit, stay, come, and others that help in controlling and managing your dog's behavior.

Why Teach Basic Commands?

Teaching basic commands is important for several reasons. It helps in building a strong bond with your pet, ensures their safety, and makes daily life more manageable. Commands also provide mental stimulation for your dog, keeping them engaged and happy.

Getting Started with Dog Training

Preparing for Training Sessions

Before you begin training, ensure you have a quiet space free from distractions. Gather treats, a clicker if you use one, and a leash. Short, consistent training sessions are more effective than long, infrequent ones.

Using Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement is the most effective training method. Reward your dog with treats, praise, or playtime when they successfully follow a command. This approach encourages them to repeat the desired behavior.

Teaching the "Sit" Command

Step-by-Step Guide to Teaching Sit

Get Your Dog’s Attention: Hold a treat close to their nose.

Move the Treat: Slowly move the treat up, allowing your dog's head to follow the treat and their bottom to lower.

Say "Sit": As soon as their bottom hits the ground, say "sit" and give them the treat.

Repeat: Practice this several times a day, using the command consistently.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Inconsistency: Use the same command and gesture each time.

Impatience: Give your dog time to understand what you want.

Teaching the "Stay" Command

Step-by-Step Guide to Teaching Stay

Command Your Dog to Sit: Start with your dog in the sitting position.

Introduce the Stay Command: Hold your hand out, palm facing the dog, and say "stay."

Step Back: Take a step back, then return and reward your dog if they stay.

Increase Distance and Duration: Gradually increase the distance and duration before giving the treat.

Increasing Duration and Distance

Start with short durations and gradually increase. If your dog breaks the stay, gently guide them back to the original position and try again.

Teaching the "Come" Command

Step-by-Step Guide to Teaching Come

Get Your Dog’s Attention: Use a happy tone and a treat to get your dog’s attention.

Use the Command: Say "come" and move back a few steps.

Reward: When your dog comes to you, reward them with a treat and praise.

Practice: Practice in different locations and gradually increase the distance.

Ensuring Reliability and Response

Practice the come command regularly in various environments. Use a long leash initially to ensure safety and control.

Integrating Dog Training Commands into Daily Life

Using Commands in Real-Life Situations

Incorporate commands into daily activities. Use "sit" before meals, "stay" at doorways, and "come" during playtime.

Consistency and Patience in Training

Consistency is key to successful training. Be patient and practice regularly to reinforce commands.

Conclusion

Mastering basic dog commands like sit, stay, and come is essential for a well-behaved and happy pet. With consistent practice, positive reinforcement, and the right resources, you can achieve successful training.

Possible "Vagabonds" fan fic future excerpt

With a eulogy to "Tiggy" the Space Doggo

For reference, this might possibly fit in a future installment for my ongoing series "Vagabonds" To read for more context:

https://www.tumblr.com/skellymom/738467105361494016/vagabonds?source=share

There is an extremely personal message at the end of the excerpt. Been sitting on this news for several weeks and needed to get it out. Opened my word document to find this excerpt. Had written it MONTHS ago. So here goes:

Warning: Very brief violence and talk of death.

Background: Wrecker and Tech are on the Marauder with the newest group of child refugees they rescued from the Empire. Unfortunately a nosy pirate looking for a bounty reward sneaks aboard. (Hunter and Echo are away on the Dread Beldame with Mad, Sil, and Love.)

The pirate advanced on the crew of the Marauder, pointing his weapon and threatening everyone aboard.  Several of the children started to cry out of fear. 

“Ehh, you’re scarin’ the kids!” Wrecker angrily pushed back. 

The pirate smiled creepily, licking his lips. 

Tech kept his cool, quietly watching the situation.  He looked like he was waiting for...something. 

“Whattaya lookin’ at, ya goggle eyed Gungan?”  The pirate snarled. 

“Your speedy demise.”  Tech sassily quipped. 

The toddler pointed to the dark brindled shadow quietly creeping up behind the pirate, “Tiggeee Goggeee.” 

Tech stoically gave the command: “Ra’mor!” 

She was upon the pirate in a flash. Took him down by the back of his neck, shaking furiously. He didn’t last long. Wrecker grimaced and grabbed the toddler in his arms while pushing the rest of the children behind him, shielding them from the sight. 

“Let slanar!” Tech barked.  

Tiggy released the mangled pirate.  

“Briik laam.” 

Tiggy immediately ran to and healed at Tech’s left side, clacking her pearly teeth excitedly. 

“Jate Tiggy. Wrecker, please dispose of the body immediately. As far away from the ship as possible.” Tech held his hands out for the toddler, which Wrecker dutifully handed over. 

“Awww...I ALWAYS get the dirty work!” 

“Wrecker, you are the best man for this job. Remember, no shallower than 6 feet. We don’t want his companions to find him. Come children...we are safe now.” 

"Tiggy" was based on my Amish rescue "Petunia" I obtained from work. For those of you who don't know, I am a certified veterinary nurse and work at a 24 hour veterinary ER. She came to us sick and injured at 4 WEEKS old.

Attacked by her own mother and possibly needing corrective surgery for necrosis of that wound, it looked dire. The Amish don't spend a lot of money if they don't think they can recoup the investment. Her heavily infected wound burst open all over my scrubs. She was TINY and helpless. I couldn't say no.

We kept her until she was a year: paid for medical care, orthopedic surgery, vaccines, meds, training, spay surgery, the works. Unfortunately, due to her being a high drive Dutch Shepherd, we could not keep her. This breed is known for their mercurial nature and sometimes aggression. I knew there was a VERY slight chance we could keep her, especially with 2 geriatric dogs in the household. She wasn't my first rescue, either. Petunia spent time at a shelter for police and military dogs, and was evaluated for bite work. Unfortunately, she passed from the wave of respiratory "Doggie Covid" that is sweeping the US right now. With some dogs medical treatment works...with some...they don't rally from the infection. We feel sick about this and sadly miss "Looney Petunia."

She now lives on in a galaxy far, far away. Love rescued her and she fiercely defends that Force sensitive teen, their family, and The Batch. She will forever track prey with Hunter, ride on Wreckers shoulders, snuggle with Omega, lay at Crosshair's feet while he polishes his rifle, listen dutifully to Tech's commands...and steal Echo's prosthetics.

She LOVED to watch TV too!

I was wondering, did anyone catch that Sherri changed her story about how she picked Diesel for Rex? In earlier interviews he was just a dog that knew basic commands but the last few years she was telling a story about how his breeder called him untrainable

Yeah, the first time I heard her say that his breeder (and I'll have to trust you on that, I don't remember if the word used was breeder, but either way the person who had Diesel and his nephews before Sherri) had called him untrainable, bozo even (that was in an interview Sherri Davis had done just this year), I was like, well, this is something new. I cannot remember her saying that before S6. I remember her saying basically that he had to go through a lot of training with her and fast, and I remember her saying she can pretty much train anything.

She exaggerates a lot of the time when she speaks, I've said it before. The thing is that if you decide to pivot at some point in your opinions, like she did now, the exaggerations easily become contradictions and lies. And it doesn't take a lot for them to be dug up in this day and age.

we’ve had dogs all my life but they’ve never been Mine like we just kind of share the space and hang out but my dad and brother mostly take care of them, so I’ve never actually had an animal be My responsibility until now. I was honestly really worried I would struggle with it or like resent it but I’m actually loving it I’m loving the routine I’ve got myself and the cat in. It’s entirely predictable. She knows what to expect, I know what to expect, I get to handle her training so she’ll actually be Trained (my dad veeeryyyy loosely trains the dogs and it’s frustrating). Loving having my schedule set like this and now it’s like I Have to maintain it because oh! there’s a tiny baby that doesn’t have hands that relies on me!

I shouldn't be so mean about cupid though, she's a smart dog who is relatively biddable in a way that the other two aren't. There's still time for her to get more cuddly when she's fully mature--

good morning would you all like a sanggra

[divinity-in-flesh]

the price for a cryobranding setup is too high. thinking about the cold burn of my nomiglyph permanently etched on the shoulders of my subs <3 getting my dog to hold them down so they don't writhe and ruin my work. every time it talks back to me, it would be a lovely reminder of who owns the flesh they inhabit.

Baratheon Wifey Lore i made tf up: a breed of hyenas called “Dornish laughing hounds” are very common and scavengers/wildly aggressive animals. A noble gifts a young pup to oberyns wife on their wedding day as a cruel joke because “a dornish man is as wild and unruly as their hounds. Perhaps if you tame this you can tame your husband” meant to humiliate her but then she feeds the hound from meat on her plate and takes off his tight chain collar and the pup is following her around everywhere.

Between Lindy, her mother who keeps appearing near Ruby & the Doctor, her 2 *long* hours of work, the alphabetical attacks, and the whole vibe of Finetime, I feel like the song 'abcdefu' by Gayle fits this episode really well. I've made a couple of tweaks to the lyrics especially for them:

"A-B-C-D-E, F you

And your mom and your sister and your job

And your broke-ass [Dot] and that shit you call art

Fuck you and your friends that I'll never see again

Everybody but your [slug], you can all fuck off"
