About the Three Basic Commands - There are three simple and basic commands for a basic dog training and these are 'sit', 'stay' and 'come'. Be ready with some dog treats that you will need to reinforce doing as commanded ability in your pet. Pets usually respond to their training much enthusiastically when they are rewarded with treats. You should start your 'sit' training in a quiet area so that your dog does not get distracted and listens to you attentively. Holding the treat over his head, you command him to sit. Do this repeatedly. It is important to remember that consistency is the key for all types of dog training. While looking up your dog may sit down to reach the treat. Sometimes the dog may not react, and at such times, you should gently push down his bottom. Be sure that you reward him with the treat and praise him by saying 'Good Boy' every time he sits. This training works because the when the dog hears 'sit', he associates it with sitting and receiving rewards.

The next basic dog training is to teach dog to 'stay'. This is generally a tricky command to teach. It will work if you combine this command 'come' command. Take your dog to an area with no directions and start backing away even as you constantly tell him to 'stay'. Maintain eye contact with your dog and if he tries to get up tell him 'no'. Start the process again. You will need a lot of patience. After he learns to 'stay', turn your back and start walking away. Seeing you walk away, he might try getting up. Say 'no' and begin the process again by telling your dog to stay as you walk away from him. Once your dog masters this part, you can ask him to 'come' using a happy voice and patting your knees as you say 'come'. If your dog responds right away, reward him with a treat and praise. All pets always respond well to a positive reinforcement. You will be happy and a proud owner of a dog once he masters the basic dog training.
