1. **Sit**: This is one of the easiest commands to teach and can help manage your puppy's behavior. To teach 'sit', hold a treat close to your puppy's nose, then move your hand up, allowing their head to follow the treat, which will cause their bottom to lower. Once they are in a sitting position, say 'sit', and give them the treat.
2. **Stay**: This command is crucial for keeping your puppy in place and can prevent them from running off. Start by asking your puppy to sit, then open your palm in front of you and say 'stay'. Take a few steps back. If they stay in place, return and reward them. Gradually increase the distance and duration.
3. **Come**: Teaching your puppy to come when called is vital for their safety. Start in a quiet area, crouch down, and call your puppy's name followed by 'come'. When they come to you, reward them with praise and treats. Make sure to practice this in various environments to reinforce the command.
4. **Down**: This command helps your puppy learn to settle down. To teach 'down', have your puppy sit first, then hold a treat in your hand and move it to the ground. As they follow the treat down, say 'down' and reward them once they are lying down.
5. **Leave it**: This command teaches your puppy to ignore distractions or potentially harmful items. Start with a treat in your hand, show it to your puppy, and then close your hand. When they stop trying to get it, say 'leave it' and reward them with a different treat.
6. **Heel**: Teaching your puppy to walk beside you on a leash is important for walks. Use treats to encourage them to stay by your side, and reward them for walking calmly next to you.
Remember to keep training sessions short and positive, using plenty of praise and rewards to motivate your puppy. Consistency and patience are key to successful training!
