Basic Obedience
Skill Verified ActivePart of:Agent Almanac
Foundation obedience training for dogs — sit, stay, come, heel, and down using positive reinforcement and marker training. Covers timing, reward hierarchy, session structure, distraction proofing, and common handler errors. Use when a new puppy (8+ weeks) is ready for foundation training, an adult dog lacks reliable basic commands, a rescue dog needs to learn the household's command vocabulary, before advancing to complex behaviors or off-leash work, or when existing commands have degraded and need re-establishing.
