1. **Sit**: This is one of the easiest commands to teach. Hold a treat close to your dog's nose, then move your hand up, allowing their head to follow the treat. This will cause their bottom to lower. Once they are in a sitting position, say 'Sit' and give them the treat.
2. **Stay**: Once your dog has mastered 'Sit', you can teach 'Stay'. Ask your dog to sit, then open your palm in front of you and say 'Stay'. Take a few steps back. If they stay in place, reward them. Gradually increase the distance and duration.
3. **Come**: This command is vital for your dog's safety. Start in a quiet area, call your dog’s name followed by 'Come'. When they come to you, reward them with praise or treats. Practice in different environments to reinforce this command.
4. **Down**: To teach 'Down', start with your dog in a sitting position. Hold a treat in your hand and move it to the floor. As their head follows the treat, their body will lower. Once they are lying down, say 'Down' and reward them.
5. **Leave it**: This command is useful for preventing your dog from picking up something they shouldn’t. Hold a treat in both hands. Show them one treat (the one you want them to leave) and say 'Leave it'. When they ignore it and focus on you, reward them with the other treat.
6. **Heel**: This command helps your dog walk nicely beside you. Start with your dog on a leash. Hold a treat at your side and say 'Heel'. If they walk beside you, reward them. If they pull, stop and wait for them to return to your side before continuing.
Remember to keep training sessions short and fun, and always use positive reinforcement. Consistency is key, so practice these commands regularly in different environments to help your dog learn effectively.
