Taking on the task of training your dog might feel intimidating if you have never tried it before. You can have information overload when you think of all the resources you have at your disposal. These are just some tips to help you start out with dog training the right way.
Commands and corrections should be short and straight to the point. Don’t scream and yell and throw a fit. Just tell them no, and redirect them to the task you are asking them to do. In addition, use an appropriate voice volume when you give commands, so that it grabs the dog’s attention and lets it know that you are serious.
Dogs have great focus and can focus on one thing, ignoring everything else, until something breaks their attention. When a command is reinforced properly and often enough, your dog will begin to shift his focus from the distractions around to you in order to wait for your signal.
Crate training requires extreme consistency. When letting a puppy out of a crate, you need to let them relieve themselves immediately. With time, your puppy will wait for the right tine to relieve himself.
It is easy to train a roll with treats. The first step is to get the dog to lay down. Next, hold a treat near the floor on one side of his head, slowly bring the treat up and over the dogs head to 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. Be persistent and do not give up; it might take a while but will be worth it once they learn it.
Try applying these tips to solve your issues. Use them when you plan a regimen for training your dog. They can make your training successful, so that both you and your dog are happy.
