When thinking about dog training, think of your dog as a remote that has to be programmed in order for it to work properly. The remote has all the capabilities of working, but it needs someone to program it to work. The potential is already within your dog, you just have to use the tips below to bring it out.
There are several techniques to make crate training your dog easier. A dog is naturally hesitant about a crate at first. A way to get them interested is to put their favorite toy in the crate, then shut the door. Your dog will want to get into the crate in order to eat the treat. After they have entered the crate, be sure to give them praise so they understand that they have done a good thing.
Always reward good, calm behavior. When your dog obeys your command, try to keep them calm as you give them their reward. If you are overly excited, the dog will become that way too. Stay calm and expect the same from your puppy.
Teething Pain
Always give your puppy plenty of toys to chew on to help with teething pain. Otherwise, you might find your shoes becoming chew toys. You should replace the object with a chew toy as soon as this occurs so your dog understands what is okay to chew on. A frozen washcloth is a great way to help your pup ease his teething pain.
A dog has an inquiring mind and will look at one thing for quite a while until its attention is broken. Your dog can learn to focus less and less, except for your commands, by using repetition.
Once you’ve figured out how this is done, then it is only a matter of time in which you will be able to teach your dog these tricks. Your dog will take pleasure in learning commands and will love to see you happy when he does something right.
