The answer is simple: treats. Yup, treats. And, well, a whole lot of patience and consistency. Most dogs are very motivated by food and positive interactions, so when you want to teach them something new, be ready to hand both those things out during the learning process. Start out with simple, straightforward commands like &#8220;sit&#8221; or &#8220;shake,&#8221; and then once those skills are mastered, you can slowly move up to more complicated requests, like &#8220;play the piano.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Steady, rewards-based interaction and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuteness.com\/13728318\/what-is-positive-reinforcement-training\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:positive reinforcement training;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;positive reinforcement training&quot;}\" class=\"link \">positive reinforcement training<\/a> will yield the best results, so stock up on your pup&#8217;s favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuteness.com\/13776391\/treats-as-positive-reinforcement-when-training-blue-buffalo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:treats when training;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;treats when training&quot;}\" class=\"link \">treats when training<\/a> to immediately give them when they accomplish the goal, or at least give it their best try. Short, daily practice and using consistent commands are key, as is having patience with your pup. But most of all, you and your dog should be having fun, bonding and learning new things together. In the end, you might just have a pooch who can play the piano \u2014 or at least shake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you enjoyed this article, you&#8217;ll love the <i>free<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.cuteness.com\/newsletter-syndicated?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=cuteness-NL-feed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Cuteness newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Cuteness newsletter&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Cuteness newsletter<\/a>, which is full of practical tips and advice to help your pets live their best lives.
