You had dreams of your dog being as smart and kind as Benji, but sometimes it feels as if he is more like a hell-hound. With some basic training, you can teach your dog to act better quicker.
Make the dog know that the crate is it’s home when you are doing crate training. Feed your dog inside the crate with the door open. Thus, they will associate a good thing like yummy food with the crate.
You need to reward your dog to be successful. Treats, toys and praise have to be given in the right doses and at the correct times. A dog quickly forgets his actions, so you must reward him immediately to reinforce his behaviors.
Dogs only have the ability to focus on one thing at a time. With frequent practice, your dog will begin to focus on you and the signals you are giving him instead of other distractions.
Always be ready with dog treats. After all, the point of rewarding him is to show him that he is following good behavior. You will ensure that your dog knows how to tell right from wrong if you do this.
