All Island German Shepherd K-9 Services teaches the basic commands that are imperative for your dog's safety and the well-being of people and other animals. Commands are important at all times for a variety of reasons. Training is about function, control and prevention. If your dog is well trained, you have the control, your dog functions within its known behavioral boundaries and you can prevent so many undesirable actions in and outside of your home.
A lack of sufficient training could lead to:
Total disregard for commands
- Lack of respect for people and other pets/animals
- Troubles with Housebreaking
- An escape artist with an inability to walk properly on the leash
- Constant barking that disrupts the family/neighborhood at all hours of the day
- Disasters in your yard and destruction of property inside the home
- Growling Over Food and Toys
- Snarling, biting... or worse.
All Island German Shepherd K-9 Services trains its dogs with the following in mind:
- A well-trained dog always responds to a command -- not just some of the time or part of the time.
- A dog that knows the SIT command will not jump inappropriately.
- A dog that is housebroken is a welcomed additional to any household.
- A dog that knows how to STAY will not run out the door into traffic.
- A dog that obeys the HEEL command will not pull you down the street when walking on a leash.
- A dog that responds to DOWN can enjoy being in the room with you without interfering with your mealtime or guests.
- A dog that COMES WHEN CALLED is not going to have to be chased.
- A well-trained dog is not a destructive dog. Destruction is expensive!
All Island German Shepherd K-9 Services does not endorse the use of verbal or physical abuse when training. Verbal and physical abuse can never be a part of the relationship between you and your dog. Abuse destroys love and trust in dogs as well as in people. A dog can not learn if he is afraid of your hands, your feet and your voice. A dog will not "come" to you if he is frightened. Your dog's hearing is five-times better than yours. If you are yelling at him and he cowers, but not due to guilt - he is afraid of the sound.
To ensure your new companion is a welcomed additional to your family, we teach you and your dog six basic commands that will help ease your frustration and help your dog better understand you.
All Island German Shepherd K-9 Services teaches the following six commands:
- Sit
- Stay
- Down
- Come
- Heel
- Place - The Place command teaches your dog to go to and stay at a pre-determined "place" within the house. This command is very useful when entertaining or when delivery people are at your door. Environmental issues such as housebreaking, barking, unwanted jumping, and climbing on furniture are also covered.
