I want to train my dog to do basic tricks. What are some tips?

1. Start with easy tricks like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Give lots of praise and rewards to reinforce that behavior.
2. Break down the trick into steps and practice one step at a time.
3. Start training by using a consistent cue for each trick.
4. Use positive reinforcement to teach your dog not just what to do, but also what not to do.
5. Practice the same trick several times a day to help your dog master it quickly.
6. End each training session on a successful note and show your dog plenty of enthusiasm and affection.
