1. Sit: Start with a treat in your hand and hold it close to your dog's nose. Slowly move your hand up, and as your dog follows the treat, their bottom will naturally lower into a sitting position. Once they are seated, say 'sit' and reward them with the treat.
2. Stay: Begin by asking your dog to sit. Then, show your palm towards their face and say 'stay.' Start by taking a small step back. If your dog stays, reward them. Gradually increase the distance and duration.
3. Come: Use a happy tone and call your dog's name followed by 'come.' When they come to you, reward them with treats or praise. This command is crucial for safety.
4. Down: Start with your dog in a sitting position. Hold a treat in your hand and lower it to the floor. As your dog follows the treat, say 'down.' Once they are lying down, reward them.
5. Leave it: Place a treat in your hand and close your fist. Let your dog sniff and paw at your hand but do not open it until they stop. Once they back off, say 'leave it' and reward them with a different treat.
6. Heel: This command teaches your dog to walk beside you without pulling on the leash. Hold a treat in your hand at your side and start walking. Say 'heel' and reward your dog for staying close to you.
Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are key to successful training. Keep training sessions short and fun, and always end on a positive note.
