14 days, five minutes. Can we do it? Stay. Sit. Follow us on the dog training journey. Come. Let's go. This is day one of teaching a puppy how to sit, stay, and come in five minutes. 5 minutes, three times a day. Teaching a puppy the most important things to know for the puppy and for you as a owner. This is we do. Services. First of all, welcome to the DaBestBulls Ranch where we focus on mini and micro bulldogs. The health, the temperament, the fun functionality, the struct structure, and everything bulldog related, puppy studs, everything. Now, why? So, sit, stay, and come are super important for you to have a good relationship with a puppy and the puppy to have a good relationship with you.

And to grow old together and for you guys to have a lifelong long good relationship. It's a healthy, better relationship with a dog with you. Now, you want a puppy to be able to sit. You the dog to be able to sit. You definitely want the dog to be able to stay and you definitely want the dog to be able to come. That can protect you and the dog in the future. If the dog can't come, you're going to grow a dislike run away from you. If the dog can't come or stay in a situation where it could be dangerous for the dog, that's also going to be very bad for the the puppy's health and for you and your heartbreak and all that stuff.

If something bad happens. So, let's get into it. Three times a day, five minutes each each session. Day one of teaching a puppy how to sit, come, and stay. Three things, three five minute sessions, and in 14 days, this puppy will be perfect at sitting, staying, and coming. Let's go. Let's get started. Teaching a puppy how to sit and come. So, this puppy's name is the smoke. We're going to get we're going to get right to it.

The smoke, sit. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. I'm going to go over the teaching methods and tactics after the session and during the session, but mainly after because I want to get to to teaching him the smoke. Sit. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy.

Just to smoke. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. M. Good boy. The smoke. The smoke. Sit. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. The smoke. Come. Hey, the smoke. Come. Good boy. There we go. Good boy. Good boy. Baba, wait. Go back. Lay down.

Sorry. Okay, here we go. The smoke. Sit. Good boy. Good boy. So, it's very important when you say the words, you only say them one once and you make them them come. As soon as they do that, they're immediately rewarded with love. I I prefer the method of rewarding with love because treats you don't always have on you. And I just dogs just want love. So, it's just very it's very very easy. Every dog likes love. Not all dogs like treats. You can do both. You can do one or the other. But I prefer if anything love. Now I always I would like to make eye contact with him and use a a a signal a hand signal and the voice signal as well. This.

Is the one I use for the sit and I use clapping or this on me for for the for the come smoke come. Good boy. Good boy. Smoke sit. Yes. Good boy. He already started to do it. Smoke. Good job. Uh, let's see if he'll do it by himself. Smoke. Sit.

Good boy. Good boy. I gave him a second. This is the first time ever teaching him. Smoke. Come. Good boy. Good. Let's try let's try a further one. Smoke. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. The smoke. Good boy. Good boy. Good job, dude. Do not bite that hard.

So, now teach him some some more. Okay. And only do it about five minutes each session. Just smoke. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Just smoke. He he's he's learning that thing. Here he goes. Standing. I don't want to the smoke. Sit. Good boy. Good boy.

We're just positively reinforcing every time that a good action is done. Instantly. The smoke. Sit. Good boy. Good boy. One time for every command. And then you make him do it. I don't want to use I don't want to overuse any of these words and I want him positive reinforce whenever those words are are said and I want eye contact and I want hand signals always. Just smoke. Come smoke.

On the on the come. You have he has to make a step at least. Just smoke. Come. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Just smoke. Just smoke. Good boy. Just smoke. To smoke. Sit. Good boy. When you're teaching a dog to come, I I my my most important things are really come, sit, stay. Um, those are the important ones. And whenever you're teaching a a dog, um there's a couple different methods you can you can follow. I recommend that you pick one. I use just just positive reinforcement. Uh I use ignore bad behavior and just positive reinforce good behavior and consistency. And that's the number one thing. And with th with that those tactics, I've had very good results over the last 30 years.

Of, you know, training dogs and doing that my whole life and having dogs and especially in the last um 10 years being, you know, super super involved in mini and micro English bulldogs. This is our our 9 gold puppy, the smoke, and he is absolutely awesome. He's a Fury son. Let me know what you think in the comments of his training. If you need if you like it, you don't like it, you have constructive criticism, questions, comments, concerns, false on all platforms, the best bulls, the DaBestBulls Ranch, and stay tuned for the next video. Let's go smoke the sit down and edit session one. I forgot to do a little recap. Session one went great, by the way. Um, just the basics of.

Of sitting and coming. I'm not going to use stay yet. I'll introduce that. But just to go over it to the hand signals that I like to use. Now I just like to be consistent but the hand signals can be anything. Sit come is a clap on on my hands or on me like and then stay is this right in their in their face at first and then it's just there. So session one went great. We'll do session two um spread out you know by a couple hours. Do three sessions three sessions a day. Super easy. Five minutes. Everyone has five minutes three times a day with their puppy with their dog. And let's get into it. Let me know any comments, questions, concerns,.

Everything like that down below. Peace. Let's go. All right. Day one, session two, 5 minutes, 14 days. Can I teach this puppy to sit, stay, and come perfectly in 14 days? Let's find out. Now, oh, sorry. Now, if it you I I only recommend max of five minutes. If a puppy gets frustrated or you get frustrated, I would definitely stop. Very important to always stay calm. Don't get frustrated at all. It's a baby. It's a puppy. And um let's get started. Okay. And if you go short in 5 minutes, that's fine, too. But 5 minutes max. So, back to it. Eye contact, hand signals, verbal signals.

Just smoke. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Look at he's already doing the the sit thing. Just smoke. To smoke. Sit. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. The smoke. Come. Good boy. Good boy. We're going to add the new one. We're going to add the new command too, which is very the very important one. The st a y. The smoke stay.

The smoke come. The smoke come. Good boy. Good boy. The smoke sit. Good boy. Good boy. He might already been sitting then. The smoke stay. The smoke. The smoke stay. The smoke. The smoke. The smoke. Stay. The smoke. Stay. The smoke. Come. Good boy.

See on the on the sda one, I just put my hand out there. On the other hand, I help him. And then when I say the ce comes, hey buddy. Okay. I always make this a very good happy environment and it makes them them not get stressed, not get mad and then just retain information and I used to use positive reinforcement. Okay, so let's do the sca one. The smoke sit.

The smoke come. Good job. And this is how you combine all three works really, really, really well, right, buddy? Good and here we go. And I always say the name first because the name first it makes it so now in the future if you have more than one dog or your other dogs or anything, there's no confusion. I say the name so he immediately now knows to look at me, make eye contact, and I give the verbal and the hand signal command. So I just.

Make him stand. He just wants to play. Just hey, just smoke. Sit. Good. That was like an accent, I think. The smoke. Uh, the smoke stay. The smoke stay the smoke. Come. Good boy. Good boy. You see, I'm I'm just ignoring the biting. And I mean obviously if he bites me too hard I like to do is like a pinch. It's like how they would communicate with each other. That's how puppies learn when they're younger is they bite each other. They learn, okay, that hurts and you go a little lighter. They learn a little skills there. But he's biting a little bit too hard right now. But it's fine. Okay. So smoke sit.

Good boy. The smoke stay the smoke. Come. Good boy. He's doing amazing. So, he's doing really, really we're less than 5 minutes in. I just want to see progress. And this is really, really good. Smoke sit. Good boy. The smoke stay. The smoke stay.

The smoke come. Come. Good boy. Good that's all. That's a that's a that's a wrap. This is the first day training. He's doing freaking awesome. Another reason why he's doing awesome, not to toot my own horn, is he is the best bulls product. He's a son of of Fury. Fury is an amazingly behaved uh genetically like just came out of him. I've never really taught mainly. He just does what what he he like he's a pleaser, you know, and that's a genetic trait how Fury just came out. He wants to please. He doesn't want to do bad. And that's part of the breeding for temperament. And that's what we do here at the DaBestBulls Ranch. But that's day one, session two. We got.

One more session today and then we'll wrap it up. And in 14 days, we get this puppy to sit, to stay, and to come on command perfectly. Right. Right, boy. Good job. Good job. Good job. Peace. Session three. Day one. Session three. Five minutes a day. Can we teach a puppy in 14 days to sit, stay, and come.

This is the smoke, our test subject. And this is a tips, tricks, and training tip. Tips, tricks, and training method we use here at the DaBestBulls Ranch. And the biggest thing, biggest tip, biggest trick, biggest training method is consistency. Consistency on your training method. Consistency on your tone, on your temperament, on training the dog, on what you say, on what you do for your visual cues, everything. So, that's that's the biggest thing is the consistency. And um the smokeman's doing amazing. Let's get this last session in. Can we do it?

And can we get the smokeman trained in 14 days? Let's get right to it. Okay, I think we can. What do you think? Let me know in the comments. Smoke him. Good boy. Good boy. You sleepy. Good boy. But you see right away he answered to his name. He made eye contact with me and he came which is a big step. The smoke man stay.

I'm going to stay focused. But notice how he's not really trying to to get up. Just going to make sure I remind him he's a baby. The smoke going stay. And sometimes this is all it is. Maybe I would just do this for, you know,.

Just man. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Good just smoke, man. Come. The smoke man. Got me. Smoke it. Come. Good boy. We're going to do a little test now. The the smokeman. The smokeman. The smoke man stay come. Good boy. Good boy. The smokeman. Good boy. Come on. He's doing awesome.

Hey, buddy. And even if he didn't listen, I'm just I'm just going to ignore it. And honestly, like like if your puppy's not listening, you just got to force him to listen. And if you get frustrated, the puppy gets frustrated, end it right there always. Okay, that's why I say maximum 5 minutes. I haven't even done 5 minutes fully in one session. I'm doing this talking to show off the smoke, man. Look at he is a prime example. The best bulls, our mini micro bulldogs. Look at that structure. That structure is directly correlated to his health, his movement, his functionality, everything. Right, buddy? Okay, let's get back to work. No more showing off. The smokeman.

I think that that one the sta one is one of the most important ones for the dog safety and you smokeman. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. And of course, you never train a dog if they're not feeling well or any of that nature. They're injured, all that stuff. Those are all things that hinder you. You want everything to be, you know, a great environment. See how it's quiet here? Silken's used to it. It's very important that you're doing that. And again, the consistency. I'm just going to keep on it. Okay. The smokeman. Smokeman. Eye contact.

The smokeman. The smokeman. Sit. Good. Good boy. Good boy. The smokeman just smokeman. Stay. Just smokeman. Come. Good boy. Good boy. Listen, everyone has five minutes three times a day. Everyone has 15 minutes. This is so easy to train your dog. And not only is it like you have obviously you have to spend time five, 15 minutes a day, whatever. It is going to save you so much time. Imagine your dog not coming to you. You have to run after your dog and all this like it makes it so much easier and it makes it your relationship with your dog so much better and it's going to save you time in the long run. Just 14 days, boom, you're done. Like the the the basics.

Of having a dog and make in controlling your dog. Sit, stay, come. It's over. This is easy. I'm not even going to train. Look at I'm so confident in our training system in training that this this boy right here. I'm not even worried about, you know, um optimizing my five minutes. We're what we at now? We're at 4 minutes or whatever. All right. And the walk and all that stuff. This is easy. I'm going to do three more times. Hey, the smokeman. Eye contact the smokeman. Hey, the smokeman.

Good. Good boy. The smokeman. Stay. The smokeman. Come. Good boy. Come. Come on. Come on, smokeman. Come. Come. Good. You see, I just misdirected him. This is not the easiest puppy to train. He just wants to bite and play. And you see how he just went to my my my shoe. So instead of just keep on yelling the words, you know, coom and yell his name. I just guided him and as he was come coming, I pulled him. I just said the words. Then I said, "good boy." so he learns positive reinforcement. Okay, I I have to go the smoke, man.

He wants to play a lot, but I'm just ignoring it. Does man stay? Does smokeman come? Good boy. Good boy. He took a couple steps and I pulled him at the very end. So that's the end of the smokeman day one. 14 days, 5 minutes a day, three sessions a day. Can we get the smokeman.

For sitting, staying, coming? Follow us on our journey. Stay tuned. Let's go.
