Teach Your Dog to "Go"

Once you have "Sit" and "Stay" down, the next one is "Go"!  This command let's your pup know that he can leave your side and go have some fun.  Allowing your dog to go burn off some energy will be good for both of you.

For this command, start with the dog in a sitting position and give the command to "stay".  Stand next to him (with treat in hand) and his attention on you.  Now, let him smell the treat and repeat the "stay" command so he doesn't take off on this next part.  Now, throw the treat a few feet away and then quickly give the "OK go!" command.

Bring him back with the "come" command and then do it all over again.  You'll want to gradually increase the distance you throw the treat and also replace the treat with a hand motion or pointing in the direction you'd like him to go.
