Dogs are known as man’s best friend, dedicated to sharing their lives with us. Their energetic qualities become the main foundation that allows us to teach them many good things, which is very essential for living in a smaller space like a condo. If you are planning to move into a new property such as Solano Grand, consult first with the management about pet regulations. Here are the four most useful tricks to teach your pup as it settles into your new home.
Stay
Dogs need a way to burn off their energy on a daily basis. Stay is a trick that needs to be mastered, whether or not the owner is in sight when performing the action. This also becomes a foundation for other tricks, like sit and lie. While this may require a lot of time and training, it’s very rewarding and essential when learnt.
Quiet
When in a condo unit like Solano Grand EC, your neighbors are very close, and a dog’s constant barking can be very inconsiderate. Don’t opt for muzzles or anything that may shut down a dog’s respiratory system, as this can disable their panting system, which is basically a sweating system in human terms. That said, there are better ways to minimize their noise, such as teaching the ‘quiet’ command.
Leave it
If you drop or leave something unguarded that is very valuable, poisonous, etc, you can use this to save not just the item, but your pooch from dangerous risks. While this trick is already useful, if you’ve got a lot of time, you can go further from here and teach your dog not to instinctively grab anything, whether or not it knows the owner.
Bring Me
A super fun and cool trick to teach your dog. Familiarize your pup with an item until they master that one and successfully bring it to you. Then, introduce the dog slowly to every other item in the household, teaching him/her to open fridges, drawers, and more. Stepping into a model unit such as the Solano Grand Showflat is a great way to visualize your daily life with your family, including a pet.
