There are four critical dog obedience behaviors taught by professional dog trainers: the Sit, the Down, the Stay and the Come are essential to having a well-behaved dog. The Sit, Down, Stay and Come are behaviors that every dog should be trained to do. The Humane Society of the United States says there are approximately 74.8 million owned dogs in the U.S. Ensure that your dog is a loving family companion by training him or her, rather than letting the family pet be part of the problem. WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN YOUR DOG? Training builds your bond with your dog by helping establish you as the alpha dog. Remember that dogs are pack animals. Their social structure is based upon the wolves they are descended from; which includes a dominance hierarchy and an alpha or lead wolf. As humans, we can take advantage of this, by taking on the role of alpha, or ‘top dog.’ Many dog behavior problems arise because of confusion in the dog’s mind over who is alpha.

Since dogs and humans have had a long history of symbiosis (living together), researchers from the psychology departments at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, University of Western Ontario, and Huron University College,
