For example, instead of just saying "sit" when that is what they want their dog to do, often people will repeat the command two or three times. Or they may go into a little speech like "Sit... I said sit.... you did it yesterday, come on, now!" This does not really get the obedience training any further down the road. What you are trying to do in using simple one-word commands is to create a habit in the dog. Canine behavior, like that of humans, has a lot of habitual aspects to it. When you train dogs with simple commands, they are easier for the animals to hear and recognize the meaning than if they have to pick out the words from your steady flow of speech. We do all know that dogs are prone to noticing words they recognize when you are talking with another person. Let's say that you ask your partner, "Honey, would you mind taking Buddy for his walk? I'm so tired!" Chances are high that Buddy's tail will start wagging as he hears his own name and that word dogs love so much, "walk." Do make a habit of using simple commands, or as they are also called, cue words. That term is nice for getting away from the concept that you have boss the dog around. Of course, there are times when obedience is necessary, but as a rule the most effective dog training happens when you and your pet are just doing something together without your worrying about who is alpha! When you are teaching your new puppy, do use simple terms like come, sit, stay, and down. These are time-tested training commands that work well. By the way, since "down" means something like "Get onto the floor," what do you say when your dog is jumping up on people and you want him to stop? A good word is "off."
