What are some ways to teach your dog tricks and how to obey?

Answer by  katmandu (190)

First, do everything with repetition and patience, until the routine is learned. Use small treats, putting them by your mouth as you give the command. Use a firm voice, but not loud. The dog will focus on the treat and your words. Reward each small improvement with praise as well.

The best way to teach your dog is to train, guide them and be patient. Tell them what to do, by using keywords so they will know what you are talking about (Sit, beg, etc). Praise, pet and reward them when they do what you want them to do.

The best way is to start teaching your dog through games you play together and go easy/patiently. Always have in mind YOUR dog and discover to what he is responding best. Never teach him more than 10-15 minutes at a time.
