100 Dog Tricks Ranked by Difficulty – From Simple to Showstopping

Final Tips for Teaching Dog Tricks

  • Use positive reinforcement: Treats, praise, and toys are your best tools.
  • Keep sessions short: 5–10 minutes is plenty to avoid boredom.
  • Be patient: Some tricks take days, others weeks or more.
  • Make it fun: If your dog isn’t enjoying it, switch to something easier.
  • Train in quiet settings first: Add distractions once they’re confident.

Remember: Every dog learns differently. Progress at your pup’s pace and celebrate every success — even the small ones!
