chosen.content: Yes! Here are some ways to get your dog to listen to you:
  
  1. Treats: Most dogs are food-motivated, so finding some yummy treats is a great way to get them to listen to you. You can also use their kibble if your dog is on a special diet or can't have too many treats. Every dog is different, so make sure you consider what treats your dog loves best. 
  2. Toys: If your dog has a favorite toy, you can also use this as motivation. Make sure your dog is aware of you holding the toy when you ask them to do something.
  3. Practice Without Distractions: If you're having trouble getting your dog to listen to you in a place where there are plenty of distractions, like in the park or on a busy street, try practicing somewhere without distractions first. At home is ideal, as there should be nothing out of the ordinary.
  4. Start Easy: Make sure you start with easy commands and build up. Use the ones your dog already knows well when trying to motivate them to listen to you.
  5. Use a Long Leash: If training recall, make sure you attach a long leash to your dog until their recall is solid. This will prevent them from running off.
  6. Always Use Positive Reinforcement: Lastly, don't punish your dog for not listening to you. This can result in your dog being fearful of you or aggressive towards you and failing to understand what you want from them. Praise your dog for doing the right thing, and try not to react when they don't.
  
  Every dog is different, so finding out what motivates your dog is important. It's also important to be understanding of their age, as a small puppy is much less likely to respond to you every time than an adult dog who's had plenty of practice.
