Why Commands Get in the Way of Training

Many people are obsessed with teaching dogs to respond to various commands. While I wholeheartedly understand and support the pursuit of an obedient dog, in reality many ‘command obsessed' people are merely teaching a dog to misbehave until he hears a command. While it's great to have a dog that responds to various verbal commands, I prefer my dog to know what's expected of him in any given situation and behave the way I'd like him to by default. I don't want him to act like an idiot until I issue a command of some sort.
