Sit, Down, and Stay
Teaching your dog to sit, lie down, and stay is vital to the training of your pet. As you train your dog to perform different behaviors, you will find that a thorough understanding of, and reaction without hesitation to sit, down, and stay commands are absolutely prerequisite. Also, enforcing basic commands like sit, down, and stay helps you establish your role as pack leader. Enforcing a sit stay before feeding or walking your dog exerts your dominance, and goes a long way towards curbing behavior issues. Sit, down, and stay are also great alternate activities to enforce when your dog is displaying undesirable behavior. Learn more.
Teaching your dog to play Frisbee is fun and rewarding. It is a great way to spend quality time with your dog and you both get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Some dogs take to Frisbee instantly, and others take some coaxing and time to get the hang of it; but almost any dog can learn to love it!
