Having a trained dog is a great thing for you and your dog’s happiness. When your dog is well-trained, both of you will fully understand what behaviors are acceptable. If you train your dog, you won’t have to worry about what might happen when you leave the house. have guests, or walk him in the neighborhood. Training your dog may involve some hardship, but the end result will be a well-mannered, happy dog.
Crates should feel like a safe place to puppies. So, you should never use them as a way to discipline your dog. Dogs may need to be familiarized with the crate to feel comfortable and secure in it. There are many tricks that you can try to make it easier for both of you. If they shy away from the crate, try placing a chew bone and shutting its gate when they are not inside. A tempting bone will prove too hard to resist, and the dog will be panting to get into the crate in no time. When he finally goes into the crate to retrieve the toy, shower the dog with praise.
When training, find a verbal clue your pet can understand so they will know exactly when to do as you say. “Yes” works very well when said the same way time and time again.
Training your dog is essentially establishing relationship rules, and, like with people, enjoyment with each other will be so much more since the groundwork has been established. Remember that reinforcement is important if you want your dog to retain his new skills. Always keep a close eye out and do not hesitate to enforce proper punishment on any violations of the designated rules. Once your dog gets the training basics under his collar, you will not be limited in what you can achieve together.
