Animal experts are sharing their favorite dog training tips in conjunction with the release of 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.'

"One of the main things that I want people to realize is to get rid of the term 'Good Dog.' … The reason why I don't want you to say it is because it doesn't give enough information," dog trainer/behaviorialist Tamar Geller explains.

Instead, Geller suggests using terms like "Good Sit," "Good Potty," and "Good Wait." "Teach them English," Geller says. "Dogs can learn up to 150 words."

The experts also explain how owners can reduce breast cancer risks in female dogs, and how you can stop your dog from jumping on you.

'Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2' is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. Watch for more!
