4 Critical Commands that Can Save Your Dog's Life

Training a dog is a challenge, especially since it needs to be practiced every single day. It also needs to be consistent, meaning the same response or non-response every time. But training is worth the trouble when you find that your hard work has paid off at the sidewalk café, at the park, when a guest comes to visit, and in your daily interactions with your dog. Training goes beyond the pride of having a good dog. Training can also save your dog's life.

Here are some key commands that should be practiced every day - for life - and that all dogs should know and respond appropriately to every time.

"Sit": Sit until I tell you that you can get up.

"Come": Come running to me when I call you.

"Stay": Stay until I tell you to get up.

"Leave it": Drop what is in your mouth, look away from what you are engaged with, don't pick that up.
