If you’re reading this, you are probably fed up with how your dog can't understand what you want them to do, such as "put that down" or "stay". Teaching your dog tricks isn't just about having them perform for treats. That's only part of the process and bonus on their part.

Remember, positive reinforcement, such as rewarding them with treats, works much better than negative reinforcement, such as yelling at them. One thing we noticed is that people who are teaching their pets new tricks need to be patience. Think of it as if you're teaching a child. They have no idea what they're doing and it's your job to guide and correct them when they need it.

We know what you're thinking, "Where would I even start?" Here are some tips and tricks, provided by Coupon Chief, on how to teach your dog 5 basic obedience commands:

1. Sit

2. Stay

3. Lie Down

4. Come

5. Leave It
