Dog training isn’t really as difficult as it sounds, and can be done without yelling, screaming, or hitting. There are many different types of training, including potty, barking, and agility training.  Dogs love cheese. Knowing this is your first step in training your dog. Hold a piece of cheese above your dog’s head while he’s standing, and slowly move the cheese back toward his tail. What happens to the dog? He sits down, so he can see the cheese. “Good Boy!” you tell him. After the first time, repeat the word, “sit,” like, “sit. Good boy, sit. Good boy sit.” When he sits, give him the cheese. There! You just taught your dog a trick, and no one got hurt. Take more cheese, repeating the word, “down,” from your dog’s nose to the floor. He will follow the cheese to the ground, and you have just taught him trick number two. With a ton of cheese and practice you’ll come to see that dog training isn’t that difficult at all.
