Training a dog is a frustrating endeavor, especially in the beginning. This article will provide you with some valuable advice to make training your dog a little easier.
Crate training is very beneficial, but there can be difficulties that the following tips can help with. If they shy away from the crate, try placing a chew bone and shutting its gate when they are not inside. Your dog will want to get into the crate in order to eat the treat. Once they enter the crate, be sure to praise them to show that what they did was good.
Pet Needs
Keep your dog calm when you enter the room. Your pet needs play time (and you might too), but your pet needs to be calm when you step into rooms most of the time. 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.
Your dog will perform best on a healthy diet. A poor diet can negatively affect them in various ways. It is damaging to their health as well as making them more prone to bad behaviors. Something as simple as improving their diet can sometimes have a huge impact on how receptive they are to training.
Keep treats on hand to reward your pet for doing good. You can have your dog sit or roll over. Next, hold the treat close to the floor on one side of the dog’s head, and slowly bringing it upwards and over to the dog’s other side. He should then roll over while following the treat. As he is rolling over say, “roll over” and praise them immediately when they do. Make sure you are patient because this is likely to take several attempts. However, your dog will eventually learn this command.
