Obedience serves as a means of communicating with your dog.  It allows you to be proactive rather than reactive to bad behaviors.

Instead of running after your dog when they grab socks while you’re doing laundry, use your Place, Stay, and Leave It commands.

Instead of avoiding a coffee date with your friend and their dog, walk your dogs to drain some energy, then have them Down Stay while you enjoy a cup of Joe.

When’s the last time you’ve brushed up on your dog’s obedience skills?  Today’s Motivational Monday post is to encourage you to practice Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Leave It, Drop It, and Heel.
