Simple Ways to Train Your Dog Basic Commands

How to Teach Your Dog Sit, Stand, and Down

Teaching your dog basic commands builds good behavior and trust. Use treats, patience, and short training sessions.

Sit

Hold a treat near your dog’s nose and move it upward. As their head follows, their bottom will touch the ground. Say “Sit”, then reward.

Stand

Start with your dog sitting. Move a treat slowly forward from their nose. When they stand up, say “Stand” and reward.

Down

From a sitting position, lower a treat to the ground and move it forward. When your dog lies down, say “Down” and reward.

Training Tips

Train for 5–10 minutes, repeat daily, and always praise your dog.
