🧠 Why It’s Beneficial
Basic obedience lays the groundwork for everything that follows, from behavior modification to advanced sports training. Here’s why it’s a powerful starting point:
Safety First: Reliable obedience can prevent accidents, injuries, or stressful interactions.
Strengthened Bond: Clear communication deepens trust and respect between dog and human.
Confidence Building: Dogs learn how to succeed, which reduces anxiety and reactive behavior.
Mental Enrichment: Training challenges a dog’s brain and prevents boredom.
Foundation for Specialised Skills: Agility, scent work, and therapy dog training all spring from basic cues.
