1. **Sit**: This is often the first command to teach. Hold a treat close to your puppy's nose, then move your hand up, allowing their head to follow the treat and causing their bottom to lower. Once they’re in the sitting position, say 'Sit' and give them the treat.
2. **Stay**: Once your puppy can sit, you can teach them to stay. Ask your puppy to sit, then open your palm in front of you and say 'Stay.' Take a few steps back; if they stay, reward them with a treat. Gradually increase the distance.
3. **Come**: Teaching your puppy to come when called is vital for their safety. Use a leash initially, and when you say 'Come,' gently pull them towards you while rewarding them when they reach you.
4. **Down**: This command teaches your puppy to lie down. Start with your puppy in a sitting position. Hold a treat in your hand and lower it to the ground, encouraging them to follow it. Once they are lying down, say 'Down' and reward them.
5. **Leave it**: This command is crucial for preventing your puppy from picking up something dangerous or undesirable. Hold a treat in your hand and let your puppy sniff it. Close your hand and say 'Leave it.' When they stop trying to get the treat, reward them with another treat from your other hand.
6. **Heel**: Teaching your puppy to walk nicely on a leash is important. Start by holding a treat at your side and encouraging them to walk with you. Use the command 'Heel' and reward them for staying close.
Remember to keep training sessions short and fun, ideally 5-10 minutes, and always end on a positive note. Consistency and patience are key to successful puppy training!
