Find out what your dog loves most; some prefer soft treats, others respond better to praise or toys.

Be consistent with your commands by using the same words and tone every time you train.

Keep training sessions short and repeat them a few times throughout the day for better results.

Start with small steps and build up slowly, especially when teaching more difficult commands.

Make training a fun experience for both you and your dog to keep them engaged and happy.

Dogs learn best when they feel safe, encouraged, and supported through kind methods.
