How do you train a dog?

Answer 1

Go to a good obedience class with yoru dog. There they can teach you and your dog the basics. Then you can take over from there. It's fun for you and your dog.

Answer 2

Well, its easier to train a puppy than a dog, but either way, they are still trainable.
What exactly are you trying to teach it?

If you are trying to teach it its name:
1)Use its name often
2)avoid nicknames such as "cutie" and "sweetie"
3)reinforce use of the name and tell other people to use its name as well

If you are trying to train it to go to the bathroom outside:
1)Praise the dog a lot when it goes to the bathroom outside, and maybe feed it a treat
2)scold and punish it if it goes inside
example:hold dogs nose close to accident and tell it "no"
3)After scolding, take the dog outside where you want it to go to the bathroom

If you are trying to teach it a trick:
(using the example sit)
1)illustate how to to the trick, like pushing the dog's butt on the ground, and say the name of the trick, like "sit"
2)once the dog is sitting, say "good dog, good sit."
3)do this a couple of times, then try to get the dog to do the trick on his own
4) don't practice for more than 15 minutes at a time: dogs can get frustated and bored too!

I hope this helps!
