By doing research about puppy training you have already accomplished the first and single most important step in the process. The following information will give you all the advice that you are seeking.
When you are working on crate training with your new dog or puppy, always take steps to let them know it’s their home. Leave the crate door open and place food inside of it when it’s time to eat. This way, your dog will associate positive things with being inside the crate.
Specific feeding habits should be established with your dog. Training your dog to expect that when fed, once or twice a day, you will be removing the food bowl in 10-15 minutes, will lay down a feeding schedule that your dog will adhere to. By doing this, your dog will eventually learn to finish their food in one sitting, making feeding a little easier on you.
It takes many repetitions before a dog is able to learn new commands. You may need to repeat the command more than 20 or 30 times. Just remember to keep trying and be patient. Eventually, your dog will learn.
When using a crate to train your dog, you’ll want to make sure that you select the right size. Puppies will grow up quite quickly. Choose a crate that your puppy can grow in, but won’t grow out of. The crate should be big enough for the dog to turn and lie down comfortably without feeling cramped.
Training a dog to roll over is a pretty simple task, just make sure to have a few treats handy! You can have your dog sit or roll over. You can put the treat on the floor by their head and then raise it up over to the other side. He should follow the treat with his nose, causing him to roll his whole body over. As he rolls, state the command “roll over” in a firm tone. Repeat the process until your dog associates the command with the action. Be persistent and do not give up; it might take a while but will be worth it once they learn it.
Since you are educated now, you can start training your dog or help other dog owners like you. It is very important to have the right information before you begin training your new dog.
