Training your dog can make life a lot easier for you. However, it can also make life more pleasant for those around you. Here are some tips for teaching your dog manners.

Teaching your dog to sit is always a good trick to start with, but it’s also great when it comes to teaching him manners. Ask your dog to sit before he gets attention and when company comes over. That way, he’ll learn he only gets attention when he’s being good.

Manners in the kitchen are important too. Never feed your dog directly from the table or the counter. If you do, he’s likely to beg in the future. Instead, make your dog work for his treat by performing a trick. Or, you can put the treat in his bowl.
