Once a dog has successfully learned all the basic commands, there may be an interest on the part of the owner to venture further into some advanced commands for the dog. These more advanced commands may be an extension of the present basic ones or something totally new. However, in most cases, they are just an extension of commands already well versed for both dog and owner.
The Harder Stuff
Preparing the spot order is maybe the subsequent stage since it is a development to the sit order. This is an order where the dog really stops at a particular point close to the proprietor and anticipates further guidelines.
This can be further extended by getting the dog to make circular motions around the owner in the quest to be showier to onlookers. Another popular command that is considered more advanced is the sit and stay command.
This teaches the dog to stay in one place, even when the owner moves away. If the dog instinctively follows which is always the norm, the owner then has to get the dog to understand that they are required to remain in the designated place. Directing the dog back to the position intended every time it moves will eventually create the understanding of what is required, thus making a successful command fruitful.
Teaching the dog to remain in one place for long periods of time is also, another advanced command that can be rather useful. This is particularly so if the proprietor needs to go into shops or cafes where pets are not permitted. Being able to get the dog to sit quietly in spite of the distractions that may arise, while the owner is inside will be well worth the effort. Once the dog understands the owner's commands these actions will be easily achieved.
