Every dog requires training to some extent in order to learn what to do and of course, what not to do. The following article will give you some helpful information on canine training.
When training a puppy to use a crate it is important to take your time and start with only a few steps at a time. After they become used to each individual step and do not mind going inside the crate, try shutting the door and giving them treats with the door closed. Start off with small periods, for example 10 seconds or so, and gradually increase crate time. If the dog becomes overwhelmed, it means that you are moving too quickly for them.
If you want a well-trained dog, you must be willing to offer generous and appropriate rewards. It’s very important to provide treats at the proper time. Dogs can get confused if they are rewarded at inappropriate times.
You must repeat all new commands. It can take as many as 50 repetitions of one command before your dog learns it. Continue repeating the command patiently, and eventually your dog will understand it.
In puppy training, use the same volume and tone of voice when you state a command. This helps your dog to understand when you are in training mode. Good consistent tones also let your dog know when tones are sharp for discipline or for a command that is not punishment.
You must teach your dog how to walk correctly when the leash is attached. This will make your walks together a pleasure and not a source of frustration.
Be careful not to spend too much time at once training your dog. Spending too long on training exercises will start to bore the dog. Ten minutes is about the length of time a dog can handle.
