I have had many dogs before but this time, this is the only dog that really listens to me when I speak to her. Why? Because I trained her. What else could it be?
Initially I thought it was difficult to train a dog... but it ended up quite easy. And after I have trained her, the rest is 'easy', and it's easy for the rest of our lives (because you don't get a lifetime of trouble from this dog)
Alright, there are a few tips that I wanna share with you before you start training your dog. These are the tips I learned from a lady who trained her poodle so well that I got so excited I asked her, "How did you do that?" She laughed and told me how and what I should do.
I applied what she taught me and surprisingly, this is the first time i ever experience that owning a dog can be that hassle-free.
These are some of the training tips:
Toilet training:
My dog will only do her business on newspapers. How to train her to pee and poo on newspapers only? EASY.
I put her in a place where the ground is covered with newspaper, all over, every single inch of space. And keep her there for a period of time. This method is to let her pee and poo on the newspaper, whether she likes it or not.
After a few weeks, I reduce the newspaper area to a smaller size, and she still pee and poo on the newspaper.
After a week, I reduce again the newspaper area to even smaller size.. and when she wanna do business, she will sniff where the newspaper is, and there you go!
So now, I can release my dog and let her run around.. but i make sure there is a newspaper place where she can do her business.

For TRICKS:
1. Get your dog's favourite food (dry). (if not, any 'treats' will do, as dogs will get alert everytime there is food around) The food is to reward her every time she does what you say correctly.
2. How does she know what to do? Now, this depends on each dog's breed and intelligence i would say. For my Silky Terrier, I started off with the command "Sit"
3. REMEMBER: Start with one type of training per day. For example, if you wanna train your dog to sit, just train her for one week until she really sits! before moving on to the next command. DO NOT give your dog so many commands at the same time, you will only confuse her and she does not know what to do!
4. I place her in front of me, on the floor, she will be looking at me since i am holding her 'treat'. Then I will say SIT! She just look at me and the food, man! she doesn't know what the heck is SIT! Then I repeat SIT, while holding her backside and try to position her to sit. I tried that a few times, and when she has that position, IMMEDIATELY i gave her the treat. But we are NOT done yet. She needs confirmation. Over and Over again... until it sinks in to her brain. Once again, I command her SIT! Nothing happen... I kept saying the word SIT while helping her with the position. And once again, u saw what she could do, IMMEDIATELY give her another 'treat'. When I say IMMEDIATE, it means within a second or two. You don't have time to run to your rack and get the bag of treats, taking it out, and run back to your dog, NO! You HAVE TO have it in your hands anytime you see your dog do the right command. THIS IS CRUCIAL !
Repeat this training over and over again, your dog will know how to sit when you ask her to. I suggest you repeat this training for a week. Then move to another command. Whatever command you like: STAY, ROLLOVER, JUMP etc etc etc.
When she stays, she really stays no matter what food I put in front of her.
Or how far it is:
Now, another command is ..... COME !
Here she comes for the food!
Usually this training is the beginning of how you train your dog to come to you.

ROLLOVER !
ROLL !
She looks a bit ugly here though... haha... my cute dog..
She loves to play ball!!
She fetches the ball to you..
She'll look at you, awaiting you to throw it again..
Some other tricks:
UP!
(she's playing dead)
All training applies the same rules. You just have to understand that dogs like rewards. If you give them 'treats' when they did something, they would wanna do that again! Until you don't need treats to move them. Because the command has already sunk into their subconscious mind.
