Free Tips to Start Today

Name Game

Say your dog's name at random times. When it looks at you, reward it. Do this a lot, in easy places first. The name should mean "look at me."

Eye Contact

Ask for eye contact before and after every command. A sit with eye contact is worth more than a sit while your dog looks at the squirrel.

Feed Meals on Walks

A walk is not for greeting strangers or other dogs. Bring the food and reward your dog for paying attention to you. You are building value in yourself, right?

Crate, Place, or Leash

At home, your dog is in one of three spots: crate, place bed, or on leash with you. No free roaming while it is still learning.

New Puppy? Manage First

Use a crate, playpen or leash so mistakes do not happen. Engage your puppy with food games instead of saying no.
