Puppy training can be frustrating, especially with a new pet. Luckily, the advice below will go a long way towards helping you get the dog you want. Your dog/owner relationship will improve, and you both will be happier.
Always reward good, calm behavior. Once your dog follows your command, reward his behavior. Don’t get too excited, though, as your excitement may cause them to break their concentration. Remain calm, expect the dog to be calm and provide appropriate rewards.
Once your pet is able to progress through training sessions, you’ll be able to loosen the reins somewhat. It is important that you reach a balance between freedom and obedience in order to establish a satisfying relationship. Don’t give your dog too much free reign though.
Make sure to use the exact same tone with your dog every time you give him a command. Maintaining the same tone lets your dog know that you are serious and they should obey your commands. Good consistent tones also let your dog know when tones are sharp for discipline or for a command that is not punishment.
Approach an unknown dog slowly and let him smell your outstretched hand. This gives the dog the opportunity to recognize your scent and start to trust you. Once the dog recognizes your scent, he will not be afraid of you and will be more likely to follow your commands.
When training your dog, keep track of time during each session. If you spend a lot of time on only one thing, your dog can get bored and frustrated. Limit the amount of time you train at first to less than 10 minutes.
By using these new tips, you’ll be able to fully enjoy your dog with him being obedient. Get started today, and you will soon be reaping the rewards.
