My pet dog is very cute, but it doesn't respond to any of my commands, how can I teach my animal to respond to basic commands?

There are multiple steps you can take to begin teaching your pet dog basic commands. First, start with something simple like "sit" or "stand". Work with your dog in a low-stress environment to reward them when they correctly execute the command. You can also use positive reinforcement such as treats or games to further reward them for getting it right. 
Additionally, use proper leadership throughout their day and provide structure and consistency with their training. Keep your voice calm, avoid loud noises or sudden movements that may confuse them. Incorporate short 10 second sessions multiple times daily so you slowly begin seeing progress over time as they gain more understanding of the commands you want them to follow!

You should begin by using positive reinforcement, which involves giving your pet treats whenever it successfully carries out a command. You should also provide plenty of praise and show your pet that following commands is rewarding. For stronger commands such as “sit” or “stay”, you may want to use firm verbal commands, while for weaker ones such as “come” or “leave it”, you can use a calmer physical cue using food or a treat. With lots of repetition, patience, and consistency, your pet will gradually learn to respond to these commands.
