LEARNING BASIC COMMANDS

---

Learning basic commands with positive reinforcement training involves using rewards—like treats, praise, or toys—to encourage your puppy to repeat desired behaviors. In a typical session, your trainer will introduce simple commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” or “down,” and then guide your puppy through the action, rewarding them immediately when they get it right. The focus is on making learning a positive and enjoyable experience for your puppy, so they’re motivated to respond. Over time, your puppy learns that good behavior leads to rewards, strengthening their understanding and building a solid foundation of obedience. Positive reinforcement helps create a trusting bond between you and your puppy, making training feel like a fun game rather than a chore.
