Teaching
|
|
"Be Gentle" is a very important command. It teaches your dog to take things from you gently, without grabbing or being rough. You can say, "Gentle", or "Easy", if you prefer. |
|
|
 |
|
Your dog will be less likely to grab things from other people when he learns to be gentle, especially if other members in your family practice it, too. This command is helpful when you give your dog a bone to eat or play with. It helps when you are giving him anything that he might put into his mouth. |
 |
|
|
When your dog learns to be gentle, he becomes a much better pet. He learns to respect you as his leader and friend. |
|
Be careful not to tease your dog with this lesson. Always give him the treat as soon as he is being gentle. Then take a break and praise him in other ways such as playing fetch or hugging and kissing. |
