Many people get a new puppy or dog on a whim. If you’ve already got one, then congratulations are in order! Having proper training with your dog is crucial if you want to have a good relationship with them. Once your pet knows what you expect from them, you will be able to leave them home alone without worrying. Use this article to find some tips that will help you create a great relationship with your pet.
Your training sessions must be long enough for your dog to learn the desired behavior but no so long that he becomes bored. Start out training for just a few minutes each day and work up to half an hour or so over time. Once your dog is distracted, it is time for a break.
Trying to understand how your dog is feeling. When your dog is slow to learn, you may become frustrated. You should never give up on them, try looking at it from your dog’s vantage point. Consider how it would be to see the world in their eyes. Doing this will give you a completely different perspective, which should help you in training them.
Establish a verbal cue to let your dog know when a command has been carried out to your satisfaction. Even a simple monosyllabic spoken ‘yes’ can help the dog to connect the desired behavior with the imminent reward.
Having a regular feeding schedule makes house training much easier by putting their elimination needs on a schedule as well. This gives both you and the dog a heads up as to when they need to go outside, and you can make sure that happens before they make a mess indoors. When a dog has a schedule, they also learn the valuable skill of “holding it” until you take him for his next scheduled trip outside.
Your relationship with your pet will surely be improved by applying the tips you just learned. Whatever fits your situation, begin to apply it today. Probably you will become attached to that adorable pup or faithful dog. Training is the key to success! It is your duty to train your pet. Welcome to life with your pet.
