To train a dog to sit, push down firmly on the dogs rump, but be careful not to push too hard. Say, "sit", then, give the dog a treat. Repeat until she understands the command. To teach lay down, tell her to sit . Then, push lightly on the dogs head, say "down", and give the treat. Repeat. To teach stay, say "stay", then slowly walk away from the dog. If she follows you, scold her, and repeat. To teach come, say "stay", the walk away, about 5 feet from the dog. Then, say her name, followed by "come". Have someone else pat the dog on the rump so she will go forward. Then, repeat. To teach heel, take her for a walk. Then, say stay, followed by heel. Repeat. Hope this works!
