Rescue dogs often benefit from learning basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” which help them feel secure in their new home. Use positive reinforcement to teach these commands in a distraction-free environment.
Start with “sit” by holding a treat above their nose and moving it back until they naturally sit. Praise and reward immediately. Practice consistently, but keep sessions short to prevent frustration.
Once your dog masters basic commands in a quiet setting, gradually introduce distractions to help them generalize the behavior. Patience and consistency are key when training rescue dogs.
