If you have a natural-born obedient dog, then consider yourself lucky. Unfortunately, the majority of dogs require some form of training. This may be needed to prevent them from destroying your home or jumping on strangers. These tips will make you have the puppy you always wanted.
A new dog needs to feel safe and happy in their crate during training. You should put their food in the cage and leave the door open if it is time for them to eat. This will cause them to associate good things, such as eating, with their crate.
When crate training an indoor dog or puppy, you may try some tricks. If the dog doesn’t want to go inside the crate, put a rawhide bone in there and shut the door. They can see and smell that bone, and they will want in the crate to have it. When he does, praise him for it so he knows it was a good thing to do.
If you want your dog to follow the rules, keep training it, it needs to be refreshed! Often dog owners will stop enforcing the rules that their dog learned in their training courses. Pets are just like humans, in that they follow habitual routines. This is why on-going training is important.
You can train a pooch to roll over fairly quickly if you have some treats to hand out. The first step is to teach your dog to lay. Hold a treat between your forefingers near the left side of your dog’s head, and then slowly pass the treat in front of his face and to the opposite side. As the dog uses his nose to track the morsel, he will simultaneously roll his entire body over. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. Have patience since your dog may not get the trick quickly. However, once he does, he’ll be the center of attention at the dog park.
Don’t despair if your pooch is acting crazy. The majority of dogs are trainable as long as dedication and solid techniques are used. The article above offered some great advice to help you get started with the process of training your dog.
