You’d like to keep your pet dog indoors, however you can’t deal with all of your belongings being ruined. You are that end of the rope after experiencing chewed up rugs and torn curtains. The advice in the following article will show you how to effectively train your pooch successfully.
When you correct your dog verbally, ensure your corrections are direct and short. Don’t rant on and on about how bad your dog is. Just say no, then show it what to do instead. Make sure your voice sounds firm and businesslike.
Make sure you remain controlled when rewarding your dog. You and the dog should both remain calm. Don’t let your own excitement get your dog excited or they will lose focus. Try to stay as calm as possible during your canine training session.
Avoid reinforcing negative behavior. Avoid giving them any rewards they haven’t earned. For example, don’t rub your dog’s head when they jump up at you and when you come in the door if you don’t want them to jump.
When starting to train a dog, make verbal cues that let the animal know the exact time when they correctly carry out a command. Using an affirmative word can help your dog understand they did their part and it is time for a treat.
Teaching a dog how to roll over isn’t too hard with a few treats in your hand. First, make sure the dog is in a laying position. Next, hold the treat close to the floor on one side of the dog’s head, and slowly bringing it upwards and over to the dog’s other side. He will probably follow the treat, rolling side to side as it moves. Whenever your dog does actually roll over, say “roll over” out loud. Repeating this over time forms a mental association in your dog’s mind that eventually causes him to roll over on command. Make sure you are patient because this is likely to take several attempts. However, your dog will eventually learn this command.
Training may be a challenge, but it’s necessary. Your pet is ruining all your things, and your patience is wearing thin. Utilize the information found in this article to teach your dog to behave properly indoors.
