Training for some commands

Sitting: sitting is a natural behavior for dogs that suggests that they are not aggressive, and it is also a good behavior when their owner is busy in something, and dogs can be taught to sit by uttering the word and indicating with the palm of the hand to sit, praising them and mentioning positive sentences when the matter is carried out, and repeating that while taking Considering that adult dogs will need a longer time to learn.

Staying in the same place: You can start teaching this matter from a sitting position, with saying "Stay here" while mentioning the dog's name, and standing next to it until the word is associated with the dog in the place, then placing the hand in front of his face so that the fingers are up and the palm of the hand is facing the face, and repeat “Stay here.” If the dog remains, he must be praised. But if he moves from his place, something must be said that indicates discontent, and that he did not implement what was asked of him.

Attendance at the call: By making the dog sit, then grabbing it and pulling it with saying the word "Come", and repeating that repeatedly. An encouraging factor such as a piece of its own dried food can be used.
