Introduction

Just now in the formative works, this blog was created as a resource for anybody who is looking for general canine obedience. Originally, I wanted to dub this project Dog Training For Dummies, but hopefully anybody who wants to take the time and effort to train their dog is no dummy. Remember, some stereotypes are true: we train ourselves to understand our dogs, more than we actually train our dogs and a healthy dog is a happy dog.

I plan to have a video to demonstrate all the techniques and methods I will cover, and as the title would suggest, my dog, Amos, will be my model.

My goal is to cover some general principles (exercise, patience, and consistency to name a few) that are the basis for seguewaying into elementary commands for you and your dog. You'll know how to solicit a sit, down, stay, speak, and many other commands all with having any physical contact with your dog, except to pet them as a reward.

More to come soon!
