austrailian Sheperd puppy
I am getting a new puppy in aprox. 6 weeks. Which will seam like forever to me. But in the mean time I am trying to get everything ready for her! FOr example we are building out own dog house, and painting it and everything. Also I want to learn how to teach her tricks like sit and roll over and jump, and beg, those sorts of things!
How do you teach a dog all the manner type behaviors like sit, come here, beg, etc. Do you know any tips or websites!
Also do you have any ideas on how to teach a dog to play sports like catch, frisby and my favorite soccer?

Well first you have to show it love and let it feel comfortable ;D . Then be patient with it and reward it with a treat or praise him every time he does something you want it to do. If you want more help you should go to walmart or some where and buy a puppy obidience book. There are different kinds for different breads. I used this for my german shepherd and it helped me A LOT!

Teach a dog to sit:
first buy a treat the dog likes, probably milkbones and brake them in a few pieces, get the puppy ones.
next make sure the dog is aware you have the treat, say the command "Sit" firmly don't scare the dog though and after you say sit, push the dogs behind down gently into the sit position and give him one of the pieces of treat ( make sure there small) keep repeating this over and over again and eventually they will get it, ive trained countless dogs to sit with this. You can use this technique with the rest of the commands like laydown give me your paw ext..
the sports thing, start off witch just fetch and use the technique every time the dog brings it back give them a treat or try and take the ball from them and then give them a treat, and repeate this and eventually the dog will want to let go of the ball
