Dogs are intelligent creatures and they learn quickly if given the proper motivation.
There is no need to yell or raise your voice when training your dog to do tricks. To get your dog to perform some simple tricks, all you need is some food and patience. Teaching your dog to sit is the easiest trick of all. This can be done in a matter of days when you teach him at meal time. Tell your dog to sit, and then gently but firmly press his hind quarters to the ground until he is sitting.
