Dog Obedience Training beginning with walking

There are 3 methods to train your dog into obedience successfully:

  1. Give dog your orders by language

  2. Transmit signal by his body using a leash

  3. Train dog with your hands or body actions.

Of course, it will be better if you use the three methods at the same time. Especially at the beginning of training, dog can't understand the commands well, so, your hands and leash are important as supplementary means, which can express your meaning better. Whenever you walk, move your left foot first, say the command "go" at the same time. In this way, you can lead his action with your left leg. When you want to stop, stop with your right foot first, then close the feet, at the same time, say the command "stop".

Your action should be smooth.

Turn right and back(dog left), which can prevent that your dog is always walking in front of you. Take your left foot out first, then turn right, the step should be less half, so you can turn easily. When you are going to outside with your dog, try to avoid stopping on the way or pulling the dog to you forcibly.

Turn left and go left. In this way, when dog go in front of you or walk fast suddenly, you can correct it. Turn left and collide with your dog, which can force him to return to the previous position. The specific method adjusting your step: take your right foot out first, turn left 90 degrees taking the right foot as a center, so that you can run against the dog.

Turn right and dog in the left. When the dog walk slowly or his position is wrong although back of you, you can correct him in this way. Take your left foot out first,  turn right 90 degrees taking the left foot as a center. If you are accustomed to walk your dog at right of you, then turn left, the following actions is same as turning right. The commands "go" or "stop" may be given by language and body actions, however. The commands "Turn right and back", "Turn left" and "Turn right" only can be given by your actions.

In the course of training, your actions and commands must be clear and intelligible. As well, for a perfect obedience training, a sufficient gait training is necessary.
