As a dog owner, it is important that you see yourself as a leader since dogs are pack animals by nature. Therefore, they look to you to teach them and show them their role. Many popular dog breeds are working dogs, which generally means that they feel the need to work at pleasing their owner. Other breeds, while not typically workers, will still be eager to learn and interact with their leader.
Before you physically begin training, it is important that you remain patient and calm at all times when training your dog any new command. If you lose patience, your dog will instantly feel insecure and not understand what they are supposed to do. Next, you need to constantly practice the commands with your dog until they completely associate the verbal command with the action that they are expected to do.
To teach the sit command, stand in front of your dog and hold a small treat in your hand just above his head while you say the command. This action causes the dog to focus on whatever is in your hand which almost always causes them to sit. Once they have done what you told them to do, make sure you praise them verbally and give them the reward.
Once a dog has successfully learned to sit upon command, you can start working on the shake training. Begin by putting your dog in a sitting position and hold your hand out. Tell them to shake and pick up their paw in your hand. Often, dogs will instantly put a paw out after going over this only a few times.
When attempting to train your dog to lay down, keep the treat in your hand and slowly place your hand down on the ground while giving the verbal command. This generally causes the dog to lay down close to your hand to find out what is in there. When they have done this, praise them and open your hand so they can get the treat. Once your dog has mastered this repeatedly without error, try telling them to go lay down by pointing your finger across the room.
