You can try a little bit of ingenuity if you are going with crate training for your indoor dog or puppy. If the dog doesn’t want to get in the crate try putting a chew toy in it and close the gate when they’re not there. As soon as they smell the tempting treat, they will want to get into the crate to enjoy it. After they have entered the crate, be sure to give them praise so they understand that they have done a good thing.
Avoid reinforcing negative behavior. Avoid giving them any rewards they haven’t earned. This includes things like petting them when they jump on you at the door.
You always want to make certain your dog has good leash manners. This is both for the dog’s safety and your own, as well.
Don’t spend too long on a single dog training session. Your dog will get bored and antsy if you spend too much time on one thing. Try to limit initial training sessions to 10 minutes or less.
Always get your dog’s attention the same way. Begin each command by using his name. Get is attention by using its name and make it follow what you want it to do. Using your dog’s name lets him know you want his attention.
Now that it is clear how simple training can be, why delay? With this advice, you should have smooth sailing ahead. Dogs enjoy pleasing you and doing what you tell them to do. All they nees is some direction on what to do. Give it a go.
