Love your Dog — The way you do anything is the way you do everything.
Positive reinforcement
What is positive reinforcement? It means adding something good, like a small treat, so that your dog knows they did a good job. This way they are more likely to do "the good" again for that added something.
Find the right reward
Every dog is an individual and what may be the right reward for one dog may not work for another. Finding that reward may take time but once you have it, they will love it.
Consistency is the key
Be consistent. That is it.
Train often
A little goes a long way. Train short time periods but often.
Build up in stages
Milestones are set in stages. Milestones should be small improvements over time.

Praise the small things
Praise all the little triumphs and you will get better results.
