Bark on command
Shake hands
Fetch
Roll over
Play dead

Obedience Training

We recommend that all dogs should be given a basic level of obedience training. Dog training is a good way to improve your dog’s response to your commands, as well as preparing them for world around us. What’s more, time spent teaching, learning, and practicing their skills will increase your bond.

Play “which hand?”

Dog’s sense of smell is much more powerful than any human’s, which is why they are can be seen doing great security work at airports and public events. A great game to play with your dog is “which hand?”. Simply take a food treat and conceal it in your hand. Encourage your dog to find the treat through their sense of smell, and reward them with the treat when they get it right. This is also similar to trick training and can be a good introduction to obedience too.
