[. . . ] You'll need to say the name multiple times before your puppy learns it. When repeating your dog's name, be sure to use the same volume and tone of voice. After saying your dog's name multiple times, you may accidentally find yourself leaning closer to the microphone than recommended, speaking too loudly, or changing your tone. Keep these tips in mind when you are teaching your dog its name: · Make sure you are about 6 inches away from the microphone. Until your puppy has learned its name, don't hand your game to another player once you've started. After you bond with your puppy by calling its name and petting it, you'll be able to start teaching it tricks. Training your pup to do tricks is a fun and rewarding activity you can do together. When your dog is able to start learning tricks, you'll be prompted with a sequence that will show you how to teach it to sit down. Read the instructions on the screen and then say "sit down, " repeating it as many times as necessary until your dog learns the command. One thing to keep in mind: when teaching voice commands, avoid long pauses between words as this can confuse your puppy. After your puppy has learned how to sit down, you'll be able to view tutorials on a variety of other tricks by tapping Tricks on your puppy's status screen (see page 21).
