There are many reasons for you to have a pet dog. It may just have been those puppy dog eyes. Of course, you want a dog that will be obedient and listen to you. That takes training to accomplish! The below article provides some excellent tips for doing so.
Correct your dog verbally with short, sharp statements. Avoid launching a lengthy tirade against your pet and his naughty behavior. Be firm and get them to do your bidding. When speaking to your dog, use a voice that commands respect.
Dogs tend to concentrate on one thing to the exclusion of everything else unless that concentration is interrupted. Repetition and practice will result in your dog waiting to take cues from you rather than being distracted by other things.
Consistency is of the utmost importance when it comes to crate training. When letting your dog out of the crate, be sure to immediately allow your dog to relieve himself. The dog will grow his bladder so he can hold it for longer and longer this way.
Shock Collars
Do not use shock collars and similar training devices. In many cases, they do not live up to the advertising expectations created, and are just more money than more effective and traditional training tools. Plus, shock collars can discourage your dog from behaving properly. This kind of approach often ends in disaster.
So it is time for you now to begin training your dog. Hopefully now the idea of training your dog seems a lot more doable. A trained pet is a happy pet. Reaching that goal takes time! But, it will be worth it when you look into those lovable eyes that are eager to follow your every command or the sweet little puppy that grows up to be the perfect companion! Use the advice best suited to the situation you are in.
