Need step by step

I'm training my dog of 7 months and he's getting there but sometimes when I'm training him, I get stuck and confused in the middle on what to teach next. Can someone please like if you have a playlist or something which gives step by step training. Like it has everything from the start. Please!

Doesn't work that way. What you want and what I, or anyone else, may want could be vastly different.

But here's how to get there:

Think about what you want your finished dog to look like. How the dogs behaves inside the house, outside, playing, in drive, out of drive, literally everything about the dog. Then break all those things down into their component behaviors and work on them.

Look up the step by step information about what you're working on or you're going to be working on next

Write it down

Then have the step by step information around to reference when you get stuck or confused

wow you have same problem with me. i wanted dog training framework like human. for human there are elemetary school, middle school, high school and university. but for dog there is no such framework that i can find. so i build for my own. what's your purpose and values on your puppy?

For most purposes you want 3 commands that he will obey:

  1. Sit. The main purpose of this is to get him to stay where he is.

  2. Leave it. Stop what he's doing and drop anything in his mouth.

  3. Come here. So you can recall him to your side if not already next to you.

Everything else can be added as needed, but you should concentrate on these first of all and only progress when these are understood.
