How can I teach my dog to do tricks?

It's generally a good idea to start by teaching basic commands, and to consistently use clear and firm language.  Simple commands that you might consider practicing first are to come, stay, sit, and down, and the best way to teach these is through positive reinforcement and lots of praise when your dog follows the command.  You can practice different tricks and obedience exercises in a happy playful way, and there are a number of great dog tricks guides available online which give you step-by-step instructions and clear pictures for each trick.  Here are just a few examples: 12 Fun Dog Tricks  | BarkPost, 50 Fun Dog Tricks  | Bored Panda, and  101 Dog Tricks  | Puppy Project.  You can check out these guides and many more on The Dodo's Dog Tricks & Games page: https://www.thedodo.com/dogs/games-for-dogs-1456124517.html.

Training and teaching dog tricks is a rewarding experience for both you and your dog. It’s important to always manage your dog’s attention in a positive way, setting and following clear behavioral expectations, spending regular amounts of dedicated time as a fun and exciting activity. I would recommend reading and following the careful instructions provided by dog training professionals, in books or resources online about basic and advanced dog training. Below are some common dog tricks and some good training books that you can try:

Rolling over: Long-lasting reward best for teaching your dog to roll over (using treats or toy items)

Beg: Accustoming your dog to sit, stay and stand before teaching this behavior

Shake: Introduce this trick by having your dog hold a treat while bringing your hand toward the dog, shaking the treat side to side quickly

Speak: Build the association by teaching your dog to “sit,” “stay,” “shake” and “speak” together

Here are several good training books that are also highly rated on Amazon:

The Click Course: Step by Step Training by Dr. Susan Friedman, Victoria Stilwell

The Art of Raising a Puppy by The Monks of New Skete
