In the order for the dog to perform definite tasks it has to know definite commands that are defined by the basic dog training. Concluding from these the first thing to do is to let your dog understand who is the leader at home to make it obey.
Thus, the dog is to be educated at once it appears at your home. And basic dog training is to be started when a dog is 2 months old. It is considered that a puppy is trained the best way in the age from 2 till 3 months. But it does not mean that you have to finish dog training to all commands and subjects within one month! A dog is to be trained throughout whole its life.
For training exercises it is enough several minutes daily. Start from 5-10 minutes several times a day. Your voice and tone should motivate your dog to listen to you. It is a key for dog interest in training and success.
As a rule, basic dog training at home starts from the commands "come", "place", and "no". These are the basic dog training commands for a puppy to master.
