While many dogs are dropped off at shelters because their behavior was not what the owners expected, it is often possible to avoid this situation. Proper training will produce a good well-behaved family dog. A little bit of time, patience and repetition are all it takes to turn your dog into a more respectful companion.
Your dog will get used to its crate if it can feel at home in it. When you feed him, feed him inside the crate, and keep the door open while he is in there eating. Thus, they will associate a good thing like yummy food with the crate.
Ensure that your dog eats well. A bad diet can cause your dog many problems. Not only does it affect the dog’s health, but it can have an impact on its behavior. Improving your dog’s diet can make training him easier.
Try to mistakenly avoid reinforcing any behaviors that are unwanted when doing puppy training. Don’t ever reward a dog that is behaving badly. If your dog leaps on you when you return home and you wish to discourage this behavior, you must ignore him and go about your business. Even negative attention from you can cause the behavior to continue.
Teaching a dog how to roll over isn’t too hard with a few treats in your hand. First, have the dog lay down. The next step is to hold a treat close to the floor by the dog’s head then continue to move the treat over his head until you reach the other side. He should follow the treat with his nose, causing him to roll his whole body over. Upon seeing him roll over, issue the command. You can then repeat the command to the point where he rolls over without the added incentive of a treat. It may take some time for your dog to perfect the trick, but it’s a popular move and one that is sure to impress others.
Hopefully, reading the information above is more than enough to make it clear that a rewarding dog-owner relationship is easy to achieve. It is imperative that you give your pet a lot of your time and attention. Properly training your dog will really make life easier on your both.
