Dog Training Basics Every Owner Should Know

Start With Their Name

Teach your dog to respond to their name before anything else.

Make Command

“Sit” is the foundation of good behavior. Say it clearly, guide gently, and reward instantly.

Keep Training Short & Fun

Dogs learn best in 5–10 minute bursts. End on a positive note and celebrate small wins

Use High-Value Treats

Not all treats are equal — find what your dog loves. Small, smelly, and irresistible works best.

Be Consistent

Use the same commands, tone, and timing every time. Consistency is how habits form!

Mental Stimulation Matters

Training isn’t just about obedience, it’s mental exercise like puzzle toys.
