Fourteen - Move It!
A handy word to teach your dog is to "move" (out of your way) especially
when your arms are full of groceries or other items.
Wrong Move: When
your dog is resting in a doorway or hallway, you walk around the dog
politely.
This gives your puppy the wrong message
that you rank lower than this canine in the household. Imagine being a
Private in the military and not moving out of the way when a General
approached a doorway. Lower ranking individuals defer to higher ranking
individuals.
Right Move:
Walk forward with baby steps - shuffle your feet loudly - and tell the
dog to "move" to allow your passage. Soon, the dog will learn what
"move" means.
