How Do I Train My Dog To Do Basic Training Skills?...

How old is the dog? If it is young, then you just have to keep at it, and do it daily. You can also use little dog bones to reward the pup with. Hope this helps.

Hi there
the way i trained mine to sit give me paws and lie down was to show them first what i wanted them to do then find them something they really like mine liked hot dog sausages if a dog really likes something they will do anything and i mean anything!!! Ha ha ha
but keep at it and hopefully it will work for you

1st as with the previous answer, how old is the dog? A lot of the pet stores in my area have classes for dogs. You might want to check with your local pet store.  

My son carried his German Shepard. He was quite young and he did very well. He's 2 now, and still does the sit, shake hands, stay, come & lay on command.

Good luck!
