Pet Supplies Review

Can your dog count? If you say no, you may want to rethink your answer.  How many times do you give your dog a command before he responds to it? Once, twice, three times?  If your answer is more than three, you really need to train your dog.

If you only have to give a command once, congratulations, you have a well trained dog. If you  have to give the same command more than once, you have work to do.

Suppose you are taking Fido for a walk. He is off leash for some unknown reason. He dashes toward the street. Sensing danger you tell him to come. Then you tell him to come again, then the third time. Fido comes after the third command. He knew what he was suppose to do after the first command, but waited until the third because he knew that’s what you always do and that’s when you really meant it.

If there had been a car coming, would there have been enough time for three commands? Tell him once. If he responds, congratulations are in order. If he doesn’t respond, correct him. Repeat the exercise until he learns to respond on the first command. It could save his life.
