The basic commands are sit, stay, and come. these are the first things you should teach your dog. let's start with sit.

point to the ground and say "sit" while pushing your dog's butt down. practice this with your dog every day. eventually, your dog will do it without you pushing him down. make sure to pet your dog and give him a treat when he does what you say.

Okay, now let's do stay. If you have a very wild dog then this is a important trick to teach him. You might also want to get someone to help you.

Have your helper put your dog on a leash. Pet your dog and then stand up, and walk a few feet away. Once you are about five feet away say: ''stay." then have your helper let go of the leash. Run over to your dog pet him, and give him treats. Practice this with your dog every day. Eventually you won't have to have someone help you.

Let's learn come now. This should be a very easy if your dog really loves you.

First tell your dog to stay, then walk a few feet away and say "come!" while holding out a treat. If your dog doesn’t come the first few times, you might want to get someone to help you. Make sure to do this with your dog every day.
