The Command Structure

The Command Structure is very important, as the better this is, the better your dog training, and your dog behavior, will be.

For all commands or initiations, it's important to start with the dogs name, then the command or invitation. If you already have their attention, you can skip the name. 

Rules:
These are the standing rules that are always in place that you expect your dog to follow at all times.

Commands:
These are specific instructions given to your dog with specific expectations that they are expected to follow every time. 

Invitations:
These are offers to allow your pet to do something they want to do, but are only allowed to do with permission.

This is the structure I use, and the details for each item:
