Spin is a simple exercise that any dog can do. Let's do it.

What does your dog do when you drop some food on the floor? Does he wait for you to allow him to eat it? Probably not, right? He'll probably pounce on the food the moment it hits the floor and gobble it up before you know it. If he eats dangerous food, he may hurt himself.

Pulling on the leash is probably the biggest problem for most dog owners. After all, your dog has a million more important things to worry about on a walk than you do. Sniffing, chasing, pulling from tree to tree, eating trash off the ground, reacting to cyclists, children, cats, and so on.

Before we start training together to walk on a leash, so that the dog does not pull, let's talk a little about treats. They are a big motivator for the dog.

This activity could be called "a lift". A bowl of food is an excellent thing that can motivate good behavior. I will teach your dog to sit and wait before eating without giving commands. The only word you say is "OK" to release the dog from sitting.

Do you remember being taught to say the magic word "please" when you were little and wanted something? If you didn't say "please", you didn't get sweets or you weren't allowed to go outside to play. I learned that word for sure too. But since we dogs communicate with our bodies and not with words, I say "please" with my butt....

Did you know that your dog learns from you all the time, not just during his formal training? Dogs learn nonstop.
