Many people believe that training their dog themselves is much too difficult. Doubts about the process can discourage people from even trying. How much you know will affect how well you train your dog. Keep reading to learn more about puppy training strategies.
Correcting a dog should be done quickly and concisely. Do not rant on at length to your dog telling them how they were bad. Just say “no” and show them what to do instead. Also speak with authority so they understand you mean business.
Never chain two dogs too close to each other. It is just too easy for dogs in such a situation to tangle their leads together, and this can lead to serious injuries for both of them. In the worst case, a large dog might be able to strangle or crush a smaller one, entirely by accident, while trying to free itself.
Choose a crate that fits your dog properly and use it to crate train them. Keep in mind that puppies get bigger. You want a crate that will suit your dog right through to adulthood. The dog should have plenty of room to turn around and lie down without being crowded.
Always be sure to have a reward or tasty morsel for your dog when he follows a command or learns something new. They need to know that the behavior they have done is exactly what you wanted them to do. This helps the dog understand what is right and what is wrong.
Training Sessions
Limit the time of your training sessions with your dog so he doesn’t lose focus. Remember that a dog has a short attention span and cannot focus on one thing for too long. Try limiting training sessions to 10 minutes or less.
