50 BASIC COMMANDS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND
Learning commands is important to all dogs but very necessary for larger
breeds so you can keep them safe and manageable. A command is a way
of communicating what you want the dog to do; from simple to advance
commands. There are two types of commands, which are hand signals
and verbal commands. There are also some cute and fun commands you
can teach your dog.
When using verbal commands, make sure that your voice is loud enough
for your dog to hear but do not yell at your dog. Talk to them in a kind
voice. With hand signals, always make sure that your dog is focused on
you and your hands. Keep your hand signals consistent so you do not
confuse your dog. Start teaching the dog as soon as you get them because
the younger they are, the easier it is for them to learn.

They are set in order of priority and deal with the basic control instructions and then to more fun and less essential ones, such as Spin and Speak or Bark. The approach to them all is through positive reinforcement, and not through punishment.
This book is a simple guide for someone getting a new member of their family, and the process of training a dog are, constancy, reward, and repetition. By following the tips in the book, you will soon train your dog in the basics, but the more challenging commands will take longer to perfect.

A beautiful blend of guidance and connection, this book speaks to the heart of dog ownership
This isn’t just a dog training manual—it’s a lesson in love, patience, and building real understanding. As the owner of a strong-willed Rottweiler pup, I was overwhelmed. But this book calmed my nerves. It taught me how to communicate clearly and kindly, with both my voice and my hands. The results were almost immediate. My dog listens, trusts, and even seems happier. This book reminded me that training is not control, it’s connection. Truly powerful and absolutely worth every page. worth every star but I think 4 is okay. superb!!!

A must-have for any dog owner, especially with big breeds!
I bought this book hoping to get a handle on training my new (and very energetic) German Shepherd, and wow, it's been such a helpful guide! The tips are simple, clear, and really easy to follow. I love how it emphasizes kindness and consistency. I never realized how much hand signals could matter, but now my dog actually pays more attention! It’s not overly technical, just practical advice that works. Definitely worth it if you want to build a better connection with your dog.

This book changed the way I communicate with my dog, genuinely grateful!! As someone who recently brought home a large rescue dog, I was struggling with how to train him without being harsh or confusing. This book was a game-changer. It breaks down commands in such a relatable way, like you're learning from a friend who really understands dogs. I especially loved the emphasis on patience, tone of voice, and consistency. My dog is now more responsive, calmer, and honestly, our bond has grown stronger. This isn't just a training book.
It is a trust-building guide. Highly recommended!

This book didn’t just help me train my dog it helped me understand him. You see, I came into this overwhelmed, frustrated, and honestly doubting myself as a dog owner. I have a big, lovable Cane Corso who was all muscle and zero obedience. But this book... it spoke to me. It reminded me that training isn’t about dominance—it’s about trust. The way it explains commands, both verbal and hand signals—helped me finally break through. We’re communicating now. He’s calmer. I’m more confident. We’re finally in sync. This book gave me hope. I’ll never forget that.

hey buddy thanks for the book!! it helped.
I didn’t buy this book looking for tricks. I bought it searching for peace. Big dogs can be intimidating when untrained, and I was desperate. This book didn’t just tell me what to do, it showed me how to lead with love, clarity, and calm authority. My dog doesn’t just obey now, my dog connects with me. The verbal commands, the hand signals, the gentle approach, it works. No gimmicks. Just real, grounded guidance. If you’re serious about your dog, start here. This book is the real deal.
