Having your dog be able to jump up and Down on command is an absolute game Changer whether it comes to you taking Them somewhere to go on adventure taking Them to the vets taking them to daycare Taking them with you on holiday save Your back save the frustration save your Dog becoming stressed and anxious about The experience and turn it into a fun Obedience command and have your dog have The ability to jump in and out of the Car and then use that for knock-on Effects in situations where you never Dreamed you might need it but you’ve got It at your disposal when you do silly Break good boy yeah good boy good boy so The second command that a lot of people Don’t understand that they need is Exactly that it’s a break command it’s Communicating to your labrador Incredibly efficiently that they are Free to go and do whatever they want the Problem is if you don’t have a break Command your dog becomes accustomed to Picking and choosing when they think That they are finished with a command if You’ve asked your dog to sit and then Let them decide when they finish sitting That is a slippery slope to poor Behavior it’s a slippery slope to poor Obedience especially when you try and Take that dog out into the real world That you’re surrounded by competing Motivators so teach your dog a break
