Training a dog requires plenty of patience and practice, but it can be a rewarding and worthwhile bonding experience between you and your pet. Before getting into more complex tricks, there are five essential commands you should master with your dog: sit, come, down, stay, and leave it.

Train Your Dog Renowned dog trainer Cesar Millan recommends

starting with "sit," as it is one of the easiest commands to teach. You can make your dog sit by bringing a treat close to their nose and moving your hand up so that their head follows the treat. The dog should naturally sit as a result of this head movement. Reward them with the treat and be sure to repeat the sequence multiple times daily. 

The other four commands should be aided with treats as well, enforcing the positive behavior you want exhibited from your dog.
