Best Buddy Dog Training

The Follow Command

Teaching your dog to follow isn't just about walking—it's about building a relationship based on trust, respect, and leadership. At Best Buddy Dog Training, the follow command is a part of our curriculum. Dogs learn to stay close because they want to, not because they’re being bribed with treats or tugged by a harness. The Follow command is one of the most important skills in obedience training. When your dog walks behind you on command, it shows they recognize you as their leader and partner. This calm, natural behavior helps your dog remain attentive even in busy or distracting environments. Unlike many trainers, we don’t rely on clickers, food rewards, or unnecessary equipment. Our approach focuses on clear communication, consistency, and mutual respect. This allows your dog to develop confidence, self-control, and reliability both on and off leash. When obeyed, the Follow command proves that your dog is responsive, obedient, and connected to you. Ready to strengthen your bond?
