I believe if you own a dog over 50 lbs it needs to be obedience trained mostly thru a class to learn to behave with distractions, this curbs jumping on people, mouthing hands, not pulling on a leash. Also there is an AKC title your dog can earn called Canine Good Citizen (CGC)-my dog Kohle has his. I can have him sit or down from across the yard, an important tool for streets and running off.
Most training is of the owner. My husband was trying to get 3 dogs off our bed and he kept saying get down, down, get down!! I said you're acting crazy becuz "down" is a command for lay down and if you want them off the bed you need to say OFF they think you're nuts cuz they're all DOWN on the bed.
Even if your dog isn't purebred you can get a number here for non specific breed dogs to get the CGC title. [akc.org]

Posted by K9Kohle789I have wondered how many dogs are camera shy because I had a foster pup that I could only get pix of her running away from the camera and hiding behind a tree.
