Of course, you have a long list of things to train your dog; it may range from sit to stay for a hundred yards with very heavy distraction. However, good dog trainers realize the importance of building a strong foundation.
Although, you would like to train your dog to respond to a variety of commands, there a a few things to train your dog in first. The following list is what many call basic obedience, we prefer to view it as “foundation training.”
We call if foundation training for a few reasons, however, for this article we want to clearly communicate that foundation training is something that should not be skipped; whereas many pet owners call a dog training school and ask if they can get advanced training as opposed to basic obedience, this leaves us under the impression that basic obedience is optionally….Foundation Training is not!
Here are the first things you should train your dog to do:
You should concentrate your efforts on these commands, especially with a puppy, the puppy should respond reliably in low to moderate distractions before moving on.

Everyone who has ever owned a puppy knows how difficult walking a puppy on a leash can be.
In most cases the first obstacle you face is when the puppy goes through the ‘Shy’ stage and is extremely reluctant to walk off your property with you, they just come to a dead stop and drop to the floor.
Walking a puppy on a leash sounds easy until you are faced with the above scenario morning after morning and night after night.
When you finally get by this obstacle you soon can be met with another one (total opposite), around 6 months, many puppies go through what we call an “exploratory” phase. At this time forging, pulling, and jumping relentlessly on the leash can be your major concern.
The owners of this puppy realized that walking a puppy on a leash is not everything it is cracked up to be.
So, we removed the leash!

One of the most challenging dog commands around is the “come” command. Challenging and frustrating to many pet owners that is.
Getting your dog to come can be very difficult; often the reason they left your side or ran out the door is because there was something more interesting out there.
Alot of research dictates that you become more interesting to your puppy or dog to keep them focused on you rather than the distraction. However, the problem arises when it is nearly impossible to always become more interesting to your puppy then some of the distractions that the immediate environment can supply.
Getting your dog to come to you, however, is not out of the question, even if they are a puppy. There are several methods to employ that will ensure a great degree of success in a short period of time.

The “heel” command is trained differently for just about every puppy or dog that enter into this Long Island Dog Trainingprogram. Albeit, the variations may be little in difference, they are still there. Additionally, sometimes the variations are much greater do to: prey drive, stubbornness, barrier frustration (leash frustration), fear, aggression, a combination, etc…

Is your Boston Terrier biting your you, your friends, or family? If so, is your Boston Terrier still a puppy or a dog? Determining if the Boston Terrier biting is in fact biting or nipping is extremely imperative and really decides how to handle it.
For example, may puppies including the Boston Terriers nip to communicate with us (they think we understand what their nipping means). However, occasionally, or should I say more than occasionally you will find a Boston Terrier nipping to show its denial or stubbornness, especially during training sessions.
Boston Terrier behavior can be somewhat dominant, most owners seem to be fooled by their size & don’t think a dog or puppy that size can show signs of dominance. Please do NOT be think that the message is if your dog or puppy nips they are aggressive or dominant, yet, do NOT dismiss it either.
If a Growl precedes your Boston Terrier Biting that should be a reason to think there is something more there then puppy behavior. Albeit, they are still trying to communicate something to you.
As with any other canine biting, Boston Terrier biting should be carefully observed and every precaution should be taken to what triggers as well as when it gets triggered how can we first provide SAFETY for the people around us.
Professional help is paramount to combat or better prepare you on how to deal with your Boston Terrier biting people, this training should be done by a reputable professional dog trainer.
If your quest is learning how to train a dog not to chew in hopes of preserving your valued belongings you may be going about this the wrong way.
For example, can you imagine someone trying to train you NOT to yawn when you are tired, kind of difficult, wright?
Sure is, this is a natural phenomenon that humans do, just like puppies and dogs. So, how should one tackle the question: how to train a dog not to chew?
Very simple, first change the question to: How to redirect a dog’s chewing? This may yield a better plan than trying to train a dog NOT to chew.
So, how do we redirect a puppy from chewing? Very easy, we supply him with something else to chew on, immediately after we correct him from chewing on property.
For example, if he is chewing on your shoe, we will administer a correction of some sort, and this clearly depends on what method of dog training you are employing: Leash, Clicker, Remote training collar, etc…
However, right after the correction we want to give them an item that they may chew on; this kind of tells them that it is OK to chew, just NOT everything.
Eliminate the mindset of learning: how to train a dog not to chew and follow the (3) EASY steps below:
Correction, redirection, and praise!
