The reasons for owning a dog are various. Some people enjoy their loyalty while others find them to be extremely cute. Regardless of what you liked about your dog, you will want it to behave well. For that, you need to train it. This article can help you do that.
If you are keeping your dog in a crate, it’s important that you utilize tips for helping them realize this is their home. You should place the food bowl inside the crate and leave the door of the crate open while they eat their food. This creates a positive association between good food and their new crate.
Unless you offer a distraction or stimulus, your dog will probably focus exclusively on a single thing. If you do it enough times, your dog will wait for your signals instead of focusing on other things.
Commanding control is the very first step in training your dog. Your dog must see you as a leader, or they will not follow your commands. Never allow your dog pull on the leash while you are on a walk.
With the right encouragement, most dogs can learn to roll over pretty quickly. First, place your dog in the “down” position. Afterward, bring the treat above the dogs head and follow over to their other side. He should then roll over while following the treat. Be sure to say ROLL OVER as your dog is rolling. Eventually, he will learn to perform the trick upon command. 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.
Ready to begin? Hopefully, you’ve gotten enough ideas here to get started. A pet that behaves is what everyone wants. Of course, training takes time. Yet your efforts will be duly rewarded in the quality of relationship you and your family share with your trained dog. Use the advice which applies to your situation and get the job done.
