Basic training for a young dog

You must teach your dog the command "No".
Give words of praise \("Good dog"\) when your dog is good.

Down

Don't let your dog jump up. It can scratch you and frighten small children.
Put your dog's front legs down onto the ground and make it sit and say "Down".

Sit

Teach a puppy from the age of three months. Give the command "Sit". If the dog sits down, you must always give it the food. Put the dog's food on the floor in front of the dog. Practise every day! You mustn't punish the dog if it doesn't sit down.

Drop, stay and come

When a dog is off its lead, it must learn to come back. Call a young puppy and use its name. Give the command "Come".
When the puppy is carrying an object, take this from its mouth, and repeat the command "Drop".
For "Stay", use a retractable lead. Say "Sit", and then repeat "Stay". Walk away, and let out the lead.
Don't let the puppy follow you. When you reach the end of the lead, call "Come".
