What is basic training?

Basic obedience training is important for the well-being of your puppy. Training is about your dog learning to respect you as 'leader of the pack'. If basically trained a dog should respond to simple commands such as 'sit' and 'stay' and 'down' and come back when called. It is a huge advantage if your dog learns to walk properly on a lead.
