To have a happy life with your dog, you need to make sure that it is properly trained. You both understand what is expected out of each other. 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. Although it may not be easy, the time you devote to teaching your dog manners, tricks, and the proper way to do things will be well spent.
Rewarding your dog properly and generously is important when it comes to training them. It is important that you provide the right amount of treats at the correct times. If you do not give the treat right away, your dog is not going to understand why you are rewarding it.
Your dog may not learn a command right away. It isn’t uncommon for 25-50 repetitions of this same command to be used for the dog to understand it. Continue repeating the command patiently, and eventually your dog will understand it.
When using a crate to train your dog, you’ll want to make sure that you select the right size. Do not forget that all puppies will grow up. Choose a crate that is sure to fit them suitably when they hit adult size. Your dog should be able to make itself comfortable in a crate big enough for it to toss and turn.
Training your dog will establish rules for them and for you. It will help you to be able to have a leadership position over your dog and help you both to have a fulfilled relationship together. You must continue to reinforce what you are teaching your dog. Keep his training consistent and watch for any issues with his behavior. After you have laid the groundwork with your dog, the sky is the limit.
