THE 'RELAX' COMMAND
This command holds the key to almost all other ones. Whenever you want your dog to remain in a position for long, use this command. He would know that he has to remain like that even when you go out of sight. For instant
you've just now told him to 'Sit'. Then he gets up as you leave. Don't say
'Sit' again and again. Say 'Relax'. Same holds with 'Down' and other commands. Whenever he tries to display the
'Relax' command, say 'No' sternly so that he understands his mistake. Reward when he learns is again the most important trick in the game. And whenever you get angry with him, you can use this time as a self-introspection period. Imaging yourself or your child in his position, and ask yourself,
"Do I deserve to be beaten up if I don't learn at one go?" This will improve your patience. Never treat a dog as just
'an animal'. He has emotions like you. If you are good to him, he will return love in a multiple fashion.
