While teaching your dog a new trick, it is very important to make sure of rewarding him each time he acts according to the trick you are teaching him. The easiest way to do this is by giving him small pieces of a food he likes. Another great way to communicate your dog he is doing the right thing is according to your voice tone, if you talk to him in a cheerful way, he will know you are happy for what he has done.

Practice

Practice is a key aspect at the time of teaching a dog a new trick. He will not learn it after you have taught him once or twice, but he will need you to repeat the action many times until he learns the trick. On the other hand, you should not repeat it too many times one same day, since then you and your dog would both become tired and bored of the trick.
