welcome back. it is national dog day. and we will celebrate with train and canine educator tom davis who has been in the business for more than a decade. we're talking about patrick mahomes. we're talking about barstools dave portnoy and his internet sensation peaches. this morning tom is here to help us with five most important commands every dog owner should know. first of all, happy anniversary. how many years? >> three. >> and you have a baby on the way. >> any minute. i actually have to go. >> you have a 2-year-old. >> i do. >> congratulations on all the things. >> thank you so much. >> before we get into it, tom, hear from clients? one thing you i've got a nine-month-old. we love miles melvin. sometimes he could be a bit of a handful. he's a handful. >> start training when you get your dog. a lot of people come in and
8:54 am
they're not proactive. they wait for there to be a problem. so they're like, i didn't do any training and all of a sudden things are happening. >> yeah, that's us. you are talking to my wife. >> i'm not trying to call you out, but that's what happens. >> let's get into these tips. number one, you have folks coming over. friends, sometimes strangers as well, and you just don't want your dog to jump up on them. what do you do? >> well, it is important to have an off command. so you have to have obedience. you can't just say, hey, dog, don't be a dog. ups is there. amazon is there. your friends is there. make sure you have a good send-away. tell them to go to their bed. boom, stay. >> talk to me about recall, dogs off the leash. >> who doesn't want their dog off the leash? it makes the dog the happiest they could ever be. good, call your dog to you. that's important. telling your dog to get back to you.
8:55 am
you have to teach them in the beginning, though. don't wait for them to be going around the block. >> how long can you keep a dog's attention span? >> i say 10, 15 minutes. kind of like hip training. make sure they don't get bored and tired. but do it throughout the day. >> this is another one we struggle with, stay. how do you get your pup to stay wherever he or she is. >> stay. they tell the dog to come to them. but what you want to do is stay the dog in good position, good stay. good stay. so you are paying the dog in good position. you are not recalling the dog when you're doing stay. >> so basically you don't want to confuse the dog. >> right. because they will do this. pay the dog in position, break, and then break the dog. >> you use a lot of treats as well, that positive reenforcement. >> i use a lot of positive reinforcement. she loves the ball more than food. you have to pay the dog.
8:56 am
especially when you are developing a young dog. you want to make sure they love what they're doing. do you work for free? >> what about drop it? so they want this, yes. good. out. drop. done. they get something they shouldn't. you have to have out. but you need to do it before they run around your house with a sock. >> so the tone of the voice, tom, how much does that matter in giving the command? >> voice inflection matters. who's such a bad girl, look at her tail. she's such a bad girl. voice inflection, right? so the way you say and the way you present information to the dog matters just like it does with people. >> tom, you are the best. can you come to my house this afternoon. >> sure. >> probably can't afford your day rate, but come anyway. >> happy national dog day, happy anniversary, happy baby on the way. give him a round of applause. we're back for the third and fourth hours. but, first, a check of your local news, weather and these messages.
