Bringing a new puppy home is a joyful experience. However, without a plan in place, that joy will quickly morph into frustration. You will just think about how you got into this as you clean a mess all over again. But, training your dog to properly behave can return positive feelings. Through this article you will learn some of the ways the experts get the most from canines.
Make sure that your dog stays in a relaxed area. Play time needs to be a distinctive time you initiate. Avoid acknowledging him as you enter. This helps to maintain a controlled atmosphere.
A number of repetitions will be necessary before your dog will be able to master a new command. You may need to repeat the same command lesson from 25 to 30 times before your dog learns it. Keep trying, your dog will pick it up.
Every command should be giving with the same tone and volume. The dog will know you’re telling them what to do that way. They will also know when you are being positive.
When you approach a strange dog, make sure you approach him slowly and allow the dog to sniff your hand. This lets them warm up to the scent and they’ll most likely trust you. When the dog becomes familiar with your smell, he will not fear you and will respond to your commands easier.
Teach your dog not to bark with a simple command. For instance, whenever your dog is barking, hold a treat in front of them and continue to repeat “be quiet” until they quit barking. Then, you reward them with a treat. By repeating this, the dog learns that silence brings treats.
Treats, affection and lots of patience are required for successful dog training. The tips we’ve gone over will set you and your new pup onto the path of a loving wonderful relationship for the years to come. Do not expect to get results overnight, but your hard work will be rewarded by a great relationship with your dog.
