Why do dogs need to learn commands?
Teaching dogs to learn commands is not only for the convenience of care and management or to show off in front of friends. From our perspective, the ultimate goal of teaching commands is to make dogs confident and well-behaved companions.
Some owners may think that “learning commands” is optional and that the most important thing is for the dog to live happily and carefree. However, just like humans, dogs feel more purposeful and confident when they are given tasks and responsibilities.
In our experience, about 90% of behavioral issues stem from dogs lacking confidence. Correcting inappropriate behaviors starts with teaching commands as the first step.
