Training a dog takes patience and consistency. Once you find out if your dog is more motivated by food or by praise, you are on your way!
The basic commands of sit, stay, and lay down are the most common ‘tricks’ to teach your dog. But, there is no reason to stop there! Basic obedience is important if you plan to take your dog out in public – no one likes dog who has no manners! Starting young will ensure the dog has a solid foundation, and training your dog is a great way to bond with them.
Just like children, dogs need structure and guidance. Otherwise, they can get out of control! This video, posted by Alexander Holmes, features a two-month-old Labrador. She is a cutie and smart as a whip! Clearly motivated by treats, this pup will do just about anything she is told! Wow, she caught on quick!
