that our dog know some of the basic orders we can be very useful when addressing problem behaviors, such as trying attack another animal, bark very loud on the street or other problems that may arise develop in the future. 

The dogs are Very intelligent and they learn much faster than any other pet, but when is the best way to start obedience training? Clearly the best way is when there are puppies, but if you dog it is already adultDon't worry, with these guidelines you will not need classes and you will be able educate yourself from home. 

To start the training we must know what are the most basic orders and those that most useful they will be to us in the future. These can be:

• Come
• Sit down
• Leave it alone
• stay

Come

This is the order that more useful it will be us, it can help us keep our dog out of trouble, whether escape at some point in the belt you can make it come back or if you accidentally leave a open door will also return. Steps:

1. We put the leash and collar on our dog.
2. We bend down and say "Come," while gently pulling on the leash.
3. When it reaches us we reward it with a gift and some caresses.

We repeat successively with the belt, once you know how to do it with the leash we must practice the same without it. Don't forget to practice in a safe and closed area since the dog does not yet know the command well. 

Sit down

The simplest order of obedience for a dog is always to sit, we can substitute the word "Sit down" by "sit", with that we will make him learn it a lot faster. We must follow these steps:

1. We keep a treat close to the dog's nose.
2. We move our hand upward, allowing his head to follow the movement and causing his lower part to lower.
3. Once he is in a sitting position we say "sit" or "sit down." 
4. We give him the treat and pet him. 

We will have to repeat these steps several times a day until the dog it dominate, usually They don't usually take long but to make him master it sooner, try asking the meal time, when let's go for a walk or during situations in which we want the dog this don't worry and sitting.

Leave it alone

This order may be the one help us more in it day to day, to the dogs They are usually dominated by curiosity and we never know when there may be something member but possibly dangerous on the floor. We have to teach him that there is something better than what he is smelling if he ignores it. 

1. We place a candy in both hands. In the first a smaller one, in the second his favorite.
2. We show a closed fist with the gift inside and say: "Leave it."
3. Let him lick, sniff, put his mouth close, paw and bark to try to get it and ignore the behaviors.
4. Once he stops trying, give him the treat from your other hand.
5. Repeat until your dog moves away from that first fist when we say, "Leave it."
6. Then, only give your dog the treat when he turns away from that first fist and looks at you too.

We repeat this several times until the dog walk away just by saying "Leave it alone". Once you know how to do it with the cuffs we try to do it in floor, this way we will teach him not to eat things from there with the order he is learning. 

stay

This order we must teach it to him if he already knows feel, since this is essential for the rest of the steps and will help us to always stay don't worry and in the place. 

1. We ask the dog to sit.
2. We open the palm of our hand in front of him and say: "Stay."
3. We take a few steps back. If you stay on site we reward you with love and affection. 
4. If it has stayed, we increase the number of steps we take.
5. If the puppy or dog has stayed in place for even a few seconds, we must reward him. 

With this we will teach ours dog he self control, so you can take a long time to master it, but let's not be discouraged. It will cost but we will end up achieving it, think that the dogs they don't want to be sitting and they prefer to be in motion.
