Teaching Your Dog to Sit, Down, and Stay

Teaching your dog to sit, lie down, and stay is vital to the training of your pet. As you train your dog to perform different behaviors, you will find that a thorough understanding of, and reaction without hesitation to sit, down, and stay commands are absolutely prerequisite. Also, enforcing basic commands like sit, down, and stay helps you establish your role as pack leader.
