Go grab your treats, and let’s get started making dog training fun and easy. First, get your dog’s attention with their favorite treat or toy and have them sit. Next, slowly pull the reward along the floor and towards you. If your dog stands up, just try again. Make sure to immediately reward your fur baby whenever they begin to lean forward and bend their elbows, even if they aren’t fully laying down at first. Positive reinforcement dog training has been shown to be one of the best and most effective dog training methods around.

Dog training commands can take some time to stick, but be patient and keep at it and your dog will master it soon enough. And that’s it! Now look at that, your little lick lovers are growing up right before your eyes!
