Introduction
Training your dog isn’t just about obedience—it’s a bonding experience that stimulates their mind. Whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned pro, these 5 easy tricks will impress your friends and keep your pup engaged.
Trick 1: Sit
- Hold a treat near your dog’s nose, then slowly move it upward.
- As their head follows the treat, their bottom will naturally lower.
- Say “Sit” and reward immediately.

- Start with your dog in a sitting position.
- Hold your palm out and say “Stay.” Take one step back.
- Gradually increase distance and duration.
Trick 3: Shake
- Gently tap your dog’s paw while saying “Shake.”
- Reward when they lift their paw.
Trick 4: Roll Over
- Start with your dog lying down.
- Hold a treat near their nose and move it in a circular motion.
- Reward when they complete the roll.
Trick 5: High Five
- Hold a treat in your closed fist.
- When your dog paws at your hand, say “High Five” and reward.
