🐾 Top 10 Commands Every Dog Should Know

1. Sit

The foundation. Helps calm your dog and builds obedience.

2. Stay

Keeps your dog from bolting into danger. Crucial for safety.

A lifesaver. Works even if they’re chasing a squirrel.

4. Down

5. Leave it

Stops your dog from eating trash — or worse.

6. Drop it

When “leave it” fails, this saves the day.

7. Heel

For calm, leash-free walks. No pulling. No stress.

8. Off

For furniture, strangers, or jumping up. Clear and kind.

9. Wait

Pause at doors. Pause at cars. Teaches patience.

10. Watch me

Builds focus and connection. Great for recall and bonding.
