Yep. "Sit!" "Get down!" and "Drop!". Especially if you have a jumpy dog. Bonus points if you can get them to sit while you feed them or if they know to grab things out of your hands gently. It aggravates me no end when people with huge dogs don't teach them to either not jump or to get down at a simple command. I'm a small person, and a full sized German shepherd can quite easily knock me over. Please teach it to not jump on people.
Is it normal to think all dogs should be taught/obey basic commands?
