Tricks
Come
Before teaching your pet to come, I would suggest having them know to sit and stay. Once these things are taught, ensure that they are sitting and staying, so you can walk a good few yards away. After a moment, tell them to ""Come."" If they refuse, toss a treat half-way between the two of you, then they may come to you seeking more. After a while, don't throw the treat between you, but simply offer them one with your hand... then completely stop later on."
Beg
To get a Volpe to beg, the easiest way would be to involve a treat. This may annoy them, and it may make them bite your hand, but you should hold it in front of their noses, but do not let them take it. Eventually, they will give big puppy eyes, in hopes of getting a snack."
Name
A good way to train the name is to simply say it often, or use treats; pull out a treat and place it near your face while saying the name. After a while, they may get the idea to look at you when the treat is missing."
Rollover
I would suggest to first have your Volpe know how to sit and lay down. Once you have those, you can play with your creature, with a tug toy, and roll them onto their backs and onto their other sides."
Sit
You can't just tell them to ""sit,"" as they don't know what it means right away. Instead, tell them to sit, then push their rumps into the ground. Once they're down, and probably angry with you, reward and praise. After a while, they should understand what ""sit"" means."
Stay
To get a Volpe to ""stay,"" I would suggest a few methods. First, get your Volpe to sit. Push back against their nose a little, telling them to ""stay."" Walk away, and while doing so, toss treats over to ensure that they don't move. After a few tries, slowly remove the treats from the mix."
