Although you love your puppy, there may be times when you become frustrated. Sadly, your canine will not find your possessions to be as important as you do. If it can be chewed, it will be. The following article will show you how you can train your dog to let him know the rules of your house.
Establish a calm environment when you enter a room that your dog is in. Your dog should have the patience to wait for you to get settled and signal that you are ready to play with him. Don’t acknowledge your dog when you enter the room. By doing this, you will be able to create a controlled environment in which you determine when and how play time begins.
Stay Calm
Stay in control as you reward your dog’s good behavior. If you are able to command your dog to do something the right way, then it is good to calmly reward your dog. You may feel great about it, but you don’t want to make the pup feel over-excited. Stay calm and the dog will stay calm, and you’ll be able to reward it.
Keep your dog well exercised and active. Just like humans, dogs can become bored easily. If your dog is not receiving enough mental stimulation, it may not respond well to training. 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.
To strengthen your training efforts, you can use a designated verbal command to help your animal know what your expectations are and when they have been fulfilled. A positive word will give your dog time to obey.
In conclusion, it is important to have a well-behaved dog. This can prevent an injury to your dog and also save money and frustration for you. Follow the tips provided in this article and you should be able to effectively train your dog to stop unnecessary chewing.
