   What exactly do you want him trained to do? Terriers are smart, yet can be stubborn and have a mind of their own! Also he is 2, so he has missed that key age where they soak up information faster (14weeks or less). If you want him to sit, take a treat put it in front of his nose and move it up and kind of back forcing him to sit. Say sit as you’re doing this, and once he does it treat and praise. To lay down, get him to sit like that, then take the treat and slowly bring it down to the floor. If you want him to learn to come to you, teach him to wait. To wait, put him in a sit position, give him a hand signal saying ‘Wait’ or ‘Stay’ walk a few steps back, if he stays, treat him, if he moves just keep putting him back into a sit position. To teach him come, tell him to wait, and when youre ready release him with a word like ‘OK!’ or ‘FREE!’ Not sure what you really wanted to teach him but there are just a few things!

   Dog training is difficult. I just got a 4 month old mutt and she’s insane. >< If it's potty train, show him wear the mess was, make sure he smells it so he knows what you're mad about, and LIGHTLY slap him on the butt and put him outside for a little bit. Biting is very hard. If he bites you while he's playing, just yelp and ignore him for awhile till he calms down. Dogs play like that, but if they bite too hard and hurt the other dog, they know the other one won't play anymore if it's mean. Tricks are pretty simple. Just use treats but don't spoil him. Then he'll think everytime you say sit you're going to give him a treat. Only once in awhile and of course at first. I hoped this helped. (:

   There is more information required in training a dog than what someone can tell you on here.

   I suggest you buy a book, maybe breed specific, from your local pet store.

   well i read that the correct way to train a dog is by getting a clicker,so firrst u get the dog to respond to the clicker (click the button and see if it gets his attention)then push his butt down click the button,and say sit.then click say sit,then treat.click,say sit,treat.and keep doing tht a few times.then do the same thing with othr triccks

   In the middle of the tebrulunce surrounding youThese trying times that are so hard to endureIn the middle of what seems to be your darkest hourHold fast your heart and be assuredThis too shall pass, like every night that’s come before itHe’ll never give you more than you can bearThis too shall pass, so in this thought you be comfortedFor it’s in His hands, this too shall pass, oh yesThe Father knows the tears you cry before they fallHe feels your pain, His heart and yours are oneThe Father knows that sorrow’s heavy chains are strongBut with His strength, you’ll overcomeFor this too shall pass, like every night that’s come before itHe’ll never give you more than you can bearThis too shall pass, so in this thought you be comfortedFor it’s in His hands, this too shall passSo set your eyes, set them on the mountainAnd lift your hands up to the skyAnd let His arms of love surround youLet Him take you to the other sideThis too shall pass, like every night that’s come and gone before itI’m so glad, He never gives [Incomprehensible] more than you can bearThis too shall pass, so in this thought you be comfortedFor it’s in his hands, this too shall passIt’s in His hands, this too shall passOh, it shall pass
