PRAISING YOUR DOG ...USE THE MAGIC WORD!

PRAISING YOUR DOG

The front of the dog's chest is called the sternum. That is the best place to pat him for praise.

What a good dog
The word WHAT clearly pronounced, instantly gains a dog’s attention in a distinct fashion. WHAT A GOOD DOG; WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?; WHAT IS THAT NOISE
THIS IS A WORD YOU MUST USE A GREAT DEAL WITH DOG TRAINING

In OBEDIENCE TRAINING
When praising your dog while in the heeling position, reach down, pat on the sternum and say, "WHAT a good dog".
When praising your dog with only a word of praise and no patting, say, “WHAT a good dog”
The manner in which you praise your dog is most important. Always use the word WHAT.
