1. Coax your dog by moving a treat in the direction you want him to act.

2. Repeat the movement a few times. Reward him with the treats and praise him whenever he gets it right.

3. Give a verbal cue when you think he has it mastered. In time, he'll learn to respond to the command instead of the treat.
