Any habit a dog owner wishes can be trained, regardless of whether he or she wants the dog to do or stop doing the behavior. Even if they don’t disappear completely these behaviors can be ameliorated by using the tips contained herein. A dog can be turned into the ideal pet with the right training.
While training your puppy or dog to use a crate, introduce him to new concepts slowly and gradually, so he is able to adjust to the changes without feeling stressed. If they are uncomfortable with the door closed then try to feed them snacks to reassure them that they are okay. Gradually increase the amount of time your dog spends in the crate, starting with just a few seconds. If the dog becomes upset, then you need to take a step back and slow down the training.
When correcting your dog, be concise. There’s no point in ranting at your dog. Just say no, then show it what to do instead. Pitch your voice in such a way that your dog will recognize your vocalizations as commands.
You should establish certain feeding habits for your dog. Make sure that they know when a meal is coming, so that they can get into a set routine. This will ensure he eats it all quickly instead of doddling or grazing all day.
Have a good treat ready for your dog when it completes something that you ask. You want your dog to recognize that when you give it a command and it does the task, it is doing what you want it to do. Your dog will become able to realize the difference between what you consider as good and bad behavior.
Many dog owners know how hard it can be to train their dog. If the owner has the right mindset and good knowledge, they should be able to train a dog with no problem. Dogs are wonderfully loyal so they will enjoy the training period, if only for the fact they are trying to please you.
