SitStayFetch: The Truth Behind Their Dog Obedience Training Tips
Regenna Deruso
Most dog owners want their dogs to be very obedient to their commands and this is why we are conducting a detailed review on the dog training techniques presented in the program, SitStayFetch. They claim by using the methods presented in the program that it will stop your dog's behavior problems.
For my case study, I am going to take their tips and use them to train my German Shepherd dog, Bear, whom has no training experience. Bear's main problem at this time is that he does not come when called. So, I am going to take their tips on how to train your dog to come on command and see if he improves using their tips.
Here's a normal day with Bear. I let him outside so he can play and get some exercise. I soon notice he starts running up and down the fence with my neighbors dog playing tag and tearing up my garden. I call him with a "Bear. . .Come. . ." command and do you know what he does? He looks at me, acknowledging I said something, and then keeps on playing, completely ignoring me.
I then become very aggravated at my dog for not listening to me and repeat the come command with a louder yelling voice. Bear will then entirely ignore me and go on with his business of playing tag with his friend inside my garden. By this time, I lose my patience and go grab him by the collar and make him come inside, all the while yelling at him for not listening to me. I later found out that I was approaching training Bear the come command all wrong, because SitStayFetch teaches us that dogs think and behave differently than humans. SitStayFetch also teaches us how to properly use the command and they explain why doing it they way they teach works.
What exactly does SitStayFetch teach us about training our dogs to be obedient to our commands? They teach us that when we discipline our dog for not doing what we want, our dog is learning that the command is bad and they should not listen to it. So, if we give our dog the command, come, and then yell at him for not listening, the dog will relate that command to bad things and will not do what you want. You see, dogs learn from positive reinforcement. By getting mad and giving your dog a command, he thinks that command means he is in trouble and will avoid it whereas we think that the dog will learn that his actions were bad and will learn to do it right. SitStayFetch informs us that if we want our dogs to listen to us, we need to use positive reinforcement that rewards our dogs and teaches them by performing the command good things will happen.
To teach our dog the command 'Come', we need to make it as positive as possible so our dog learns that the command means good stuff and not bad things like before. To do this, SitStayFetch has several tips, but since this is a review article, I'll keep it to the 3 most important tips.
One: Get some treats that your dog will enjoy. You can try cheese, hotdogs, and dog treats. I use Cheetos for Bear because they are his favorite food.
Two: Make sure you speak to your dog with a cheerful voice when you say the command.
Three: Have a long leash handy so you can use it with the command to teach the dog what you want him to do.
With my new tips in hand, I took a deep breathe, gathered my treats and leash and took bear outside to teach him that the command come means good things and hopefully get him to listen. The results. . .
At first Bear did not respond because he had been preprogrammed by me that the command 'come' was bad. So I initially had to say "Bear. . .Come. . .", and real him in to me, using the leash, while saying, "Good Boy Bear. . . Good Come. . ." in a very cheery voice, and then giving him a piece of a hot dog. Boy was he excited over that! Then I repeated this by letting him play with his neighbor dog friend and then saying "Bear. . .Come. . .", reeled him in while giving him praise and a nice treat. It was not long that Bear soon realized when I said "Bear. . .Come" that he was going to get praise and treats and would come running on command. I was so ecstatic and grateful that my dog finally learned to come when I called him.
So does SitStayFetch's dog obedience training tips work? Bear proved to me that they do indeed work when you apply what they teach you and I am very happy with the results I seen. I have been working with the come command daily with Bear and he now comes when called, even when playing with his dog friend next door. Your dog can also learn to be obedient to your commands when you train him the correct way and SitStayFetch does an excellent job at teaching you how to do that the correct way.
