Some dogs are so cute, when guests come home, they know to shake hands with them. They can also obey the owner's commands; when told to sit, the dog obediently sits beside you. When told to come, the dog happily runs over upon hearing the command. Why doesn't your own puppy behave so obediently? Those obedient dogs have all gone through basic action training at three months old. How to train a three-month-old dog to obey the owner's commands? This is something you really need to learn!
1. It’s best to have a simple and clear name

When training a dog, the first step is to give it a name. When you call the name, the dog knows you are calling it. Its attention will focus on what you say. Don't choose a too complicated name for the dog; simple and clear is best.
2. Easily learn the "Come" command
Many dogs can understand the two words "come here." But some dogs do not understand. This is because the owner has not often said these two words. When the dog is three months old, and keeps a short distance from you, you can gently call it "come here." Especially outdoors, when the owner calls the dog's name along with the word come, it quickly understands the meaning and responds. When the dog runs over after hearing the command, gently stroke the dog's head and say praise words like "good boy" or "very obedient." If the dog still does not respond after repeating this training several times, you can put a leash on the dog. Keep a distance, issue the “come” command, then try pulling the leash to bring the dog closer. Repeat this several times and the dog will obey.
3. About shake hands training

To teach the dog to shake hands, prepare some dog food. Let the dog squat on the ground and put the dog food beside it. The owner says the two words "shake hands," then lifts the dog's left or right paw and shakes it. Then give food reward and verbal praise. After several repetitions, the dog will learn.
4. Three-month-old puppies are only suitable for basic training
Three-month-old puppies are only suitable for simple action training. Besides the two commands above, other commands like lie down, go out, come in can also be trained in the same way. More difficult training should wait until six months or one year to strengthen. Very difficult training implemented at three months could harm the dog's health.
How to train a three-month-old dog to obey the owner's commands? Essential elements for training dogs are food and verbal praise, as well as enough patience and appropriate methods. Believe that with your kindness, you will surely be able to train your dog well.
