5 Basic Commands I Wish All Dogs Knew

Hey guys what it is up,

I couldn't think of a cool title for this one so I just named it what it says up there because this post is gonna be about basic commands that kennel workers will love you for teaching you dog. Check out the end of the post to see my music for this post.

There are some commands that I, as a kennel worker, wish every owner taught their dog.

·        Sit – That one is kind of self-explanatory. We take pictures of our current guests every week to post on our Facebook page and it would really come in handy if all the dogs knew sit. Also it’s just easier to get a dog that goes in our small yard leashed up if they know what sit means.

·        Stay – this goes along with Sit. It would make Boss Lady less irritated if dogs knew stay. Like I said with ‘Sit’ it also would make it easier to leash up dogs.

·        Go lay down – This one can come in handy if you have to be in a kennel/pen with multiple dogs and one is just hyper as hell. We have dogs come in sometimes that we have to be in there to feed because they will eat each other’s food. Now I don’t mind a dog sitting in my lap once they eat as long as I can still do what I need to. Some dogs only eat if you hand feed them so if I have a dogs that I have to hand feed and the other one is bouncing around it can get annoying. Also we have dogs that will fight if you don’t separate them during feeding. Now if they are in a pen you can only put one bowl on each side of the pen. I had a dog the other week that humped my arm for 15 minutes because he wouldn’t leave his sister alone while she ate so I had to put my arm up. If they knew go lay down it would make my life easier.

·        Drop it/Give it– I love when we have only a couple dogs at night because I can play with them. We have a ‘Chuck It’ which I love because I have horrible shoulder joints. (I have bad shoulders, hips, knees and a bad back and I’m only 20. It sucks) However some dogs are no fun because once they get the ball or their toy they will not give it back. So drop it/give it would make it funner.

·        Leave it – This one could save a life. We are in the middle of the country so of course there are snakes, spiders, bees, frogs and lizards everywhere. If a dog knows leave it then they wouldn’t rick getting bit or sick from any of those creatures. I personally don’t like snakes or spiders but I can stomp and kill a spider easy. 

Well this one was short sweet and to the point haha. That is it for this post. The other one will be up shortly.
