Basic dog training: first steps

Teaching basic commands is one of the pillars for harmonious coexistence between dogs and their owners. Training contributes to the animal's safety and the family's social structure.

Why train early?

Dogs that learn commands like "sit", "stay", and "come" before six months show fewer destructive behaviors. Training strengthens the bond between owner and animal.

Positive reinforcement

Instead of punishing mistakes, reward correct behaviors with treats, toys, or affection. Dogs trained with rewards show greater command retention and fewer signs of stress.

Socialization

Expose the dog to different people, sounds, and environments from puppyhood, always gradually. This practice reduces aggressive and anxious behaviors.
