Have A “Good Day” With Your Dog!

It is common to hear dog trainers using the word of a command in the praise that follows the desired response.  For example, when a dog first learns to sit, the command is reinforced with “good sit.”  The same applies to all of the basics - down, stay, leave-it, etc.  It gets a little cumbersome to continue this when they do something like “get out of the kitchen.”  Saying good “get out of the kitchen” just doesn’t work the same!
