Dogs, like TV remote controls, they must be programmed if you want them to work properly. Though the remote has the capability to function, someone needs to tweak it to coincide with the television. Most dogs can be trained, and this article is going to teach you how to do that effectively.
Pet Needs
The space you share with your pet should be calm and relaxed. Your pet needs play time (and you might too), but your pet needs to be calm when you step into rooms most of the time. If you do not recognize them right away, they will be more calm.
The more active your dog is, the healthier it will be. Dogs can get bored very easily. Bored dogs are difficult to train. Your dog will pay better attention to commands, as well as play with you more, when he has been exercised properly. Go for a long walk with your dog.
Consistency is key when working on crate training with a young dog. If you remove the pup from the crate, see to it that he has the means to go potty. The dog will eventually learn that there are proper times to go outside and use the restroom.
When potty training your pup, remember that whatever he eats must come out. You can promote consistency and regularity by feeding your pet on a firm schedule two or three times daily with only the highest quality of food. You will know when it is time for your the dog to use the bathroom, reducing accidents.
Pick a phrase you will say to your new puppy the whole time you are working on house training him. Every single time you take your pup to do his business, say something like “need to go out?”. It does not matter the phrase you choose, as long as you keep it consistent. This will keep him focused, and will teach him to associate those words with the action of relieving himself.
When you approach a strange dog, make sure you approach him slowly and allow the dog to sniff your hand. That is the first step in getting the dog accustomed to your smell and building trust between you. When the dog becomes familiar with your smell, he will not fear you and will respond to your commands easier.
Don’t bog your puppy down with more information than he can process. Brief, simple, positive training sessions are well-suited to the limited supply of energy and attention a pup has to work with. If you push too hard, your puppy will remember it as a negative experience, and the next time you work to train him, it will be far more difficult.
When you speak to your dog in the correct tone of voice, this is the best way to train your dog. Your dog should be able to distinguish between varying tones you use for praise, commands and corrections. Stay firm and loud when you are trying to get your dogs attention, so that they become familiar with your authority.
It is critical that you teach your dog the difference between correct and incorrect behaviors. You will need help from everyone in the family to teach this. It confuses the dog and sabotages your efforts.
Your dog can, and should, find the training experience to be a positive one. Keep training sessions to more than 10 to 15 minutes to stay within your dogs’ attention span. Be generous with rewards, and don’t forget to add some variety. Praise your dog often when he does well and show a lot of love. When training is fun, he will pay attention and listen to what you say.
Hopefully you now feel more capable to train your dog after reading this article. Your pet will like the time that is spent between you and them in the training sessions.
