What are the 7 basic commands?

Which word should you use for recall with your dog?

If a dog knows a few basic commands, it makes everyday life together easier. Even as a puppy, the little companion understands some commands. The 7 most important basic commands in dog training are:

  • Sit: The dog sits down.
  • Down: The dog lies down.
  • Heel: The dog stays with the owner and doesn't run away.
  • A personalized recall command: The dog immediately returns to the owner.
  • Drop it or No: The dog lets go or stops doing something.
  • Go on: The dog should continue walking or doing something.
  • Look: Get the dog's attention.

These commands are the basis for a good relationship. Always use the same word for a command. Be consistent and reward your dog immediately. Your four-legged friend will understand the signals in no time. A dog needs clear instructions and species-appropriate, loving treatment.
