Jilly always writes so clearly about how to train. Just a suggestion, in the early days of dog training, ie when you have a puppy, or even if you are training an older dog, if at all possible walk around with treats in your coat pocket, housecoat pocket, fleecie pocket. LOL, I think you get the idea here.
You can usually use cheerios for your coat pocket, just remember to change them out every few days or so.

This allows you to immediately reward behaviour as good behaviour happens even if it is outside of your formal obedience training. And sometimes it is a good way of rewarding a position for a "trick" you have not yet taught yet; like bowing.
