The Harder Stuff
Training the place command is perhaps the next step because it is a follow up to the sit command. This is a command where the dog actually stops at a specific point next to the owner and awaits further instructions. This can be further extended by getting the dog to make circular motions around the owner in the quest to be showier to onlookers.
Another popular command that is considered more advanced is the sit and stay command. This teaches the dog to stay in one place, even when the owner moves away. If the dog instinctively follows which is always the norm, the owner then has to get the dog to understand that they are required to remain in the designated place. Directing the dog back to the position intended every time it moves will eventually create the understanding of what is required, thus making a successful command fruitful.
Teaching the dog to remain in one place for long periods of time is also another advanced command that can be rather useful. This is especially so, if the owner needs to go into shops or cafes where pets are not allowed. Being able to get the dog to sit quietly in spite of the distractions that may arise, while the owner is inside will be well worth the effort. Once the dog understands the owners commands this actions will be easily achieved.
