Correct your dog verbally with short, sharp statements. It’s not good to rant about how bad your dog is. Say no and give them a command to do the right thing. Also make sure that the volume of your voice commands their attention and lets them know that you mean business.
The first thing to do when training a dog is to establish that you are in control. Your dog must see you as a leader, or they will not follow your commands. Always walk in front, in the leadership position, letting your dog follow behind.
Keep treats on hand to reward your pet for doing good. First, make your dog lay down. Afterward, bring the treat above the dogs head and follow over to their other side. This will cause your dog to use their nose to follow the treat. As a result, your dog will roll over. Whenever your dog does actually roll over, say “roll over” out loud. Repeating this over time forms a mental association in your dog’s mind that eventually causes him to roll over on command. Have patience since your dog may not get the trick quickly. However, once he does, he’ll be the center of attention at the dog park.
Patience is the greatest virtue in puppy training. You will not get frustrated or mad and neither will your pet. It takes time for your dog to learn what is expected from him. Understand that your dog wants your approval and is doing his best to earn it.
When you do not know how to properly train your dog, then you are likely to become extremely frustrated. Now that you are armed with the advice you need, you can get started on training your pooch to be a happy and healthy member of the family.
