Start off with Awesome rewards. Reward generously, with rewards YOUR dog loves. He decides. Reward new behavior you are teaching, reward known behavior you are trying to reinforce and just good behavior in general. Behavior rewarded is repeated. And be creative. Sometimes reward with scrumpious treats, sometimes a beloved game he loves, othertimes his food bowl, and sometimes a good rubadub on his head or back. Next use Awesome timing. Rewards to be effective have to be delivered RIGHT away. Within 2 seconds. In the 5-7 seconds it takes you to reach in your pocket, your dog has done 5 other behaviors. Which one was the reward for? He doesn't know.So training will be confusing for him at best. Lastly, you need Awesome consistancy. Meaning-practice everyday. Make the time. 5-10 minutes several times a day is better than most folks train. You can do better than most folks. You want to be an Awesome dog trainer for your dog to help him be the best dog EVER! Do it for your dog and have the most fun ever!
