Training for our puppy

[Shevelle]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking into professional training for our puppy..

But I have taught her how to sit, 2 paws, lay down.. Although she gets very distracted and does not do commands without a treat being involved.. Just wondering how do I get her to do the tricks without the treat.. Also, any suggestions on other easy tricks to teach her in the meantime..

Thanks
Dawn

Since she is a puppy you need to fade the treat out. Get her to do more commands before she gets rewarded. Keep a pocket full of treats and randomly throughout the day get her to do a command. Sometimes reward with treats sometimes with just praise. It keeps her guessing as to when she will get treats and when she wont. Keep phasing out how often she gets treats until you stop all together. Try motivating her with toys too instead of only treats.
