#2- Come. “Come,” also referred to as “recall,” is something you teach your dog for more practical reasons, such as safety. The best method to begin teaching this one is to call her before each activity, like her walk or feeding time. Reward her when she comes to you. Then switch to a leash, step back a few feet, and say “Come.” When she reaches you, give her a treat and lots of praise. Repeat.
#3- Down. Tell your dog to sit. Once in position, give her the “Down” command as you take a treat down to the floor in front of her feet. Move the treat away from her, so that she naturally lies down on the floor. After she lies down, praise her and give her the treat.
