Dogs love their treats. So nothing works better than a little biscuit to reward your pup for accomplishing the task at hand. Of course, in the beginning they don’t necessarily know what the words in the command they are being rewarded for means. But eventually, with a little food incentive, they will get it down! And really, pleasing you is the best reward of all.
But keep this in mind. If you always treat your pooch after he accomplishes the command, then he will be confused if no treat if forthcoming. So the best way to handle this is to sometimes give him a treat, and sometimes just praise him. Keep him guessing, and your results will be well worth it.
