You should be overjoyed if you get a new puppy. The following few weeks are when frustration may set in. Your frustrations will mount with each mess you clean up. By teaching your dog proper behavior, you can regain the happiness you first felt. Through this article you will learn some of the ways the experts get the most from canines.
When corrected your dog verbally, make sure to use sharp, concise wording. Yelling and screaming at your dog is counterproductive. Inform them of your disapproval and move on. Additionally, you can raise the tone of your voice for emphasis.
Dogs generally focus on one thing while ignoring everything around them, unless something interrupts that intense focus. When a command is reinforced properly and often enough, your dog will begin to shift his focus from the distractions around to you in order to wait for your signal.
You will have to repeat commands several times before your dog learns it. It’s very common to repeat a command up to 50 times before your dog can learn it. Keep trying the same commands until your dog remembers it for good.
Teaching any dog how to roll over can be pretty easy. Make sure you’ve got a few tasty treats handy before beginning. 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. His nose will track that treat and his body will roll over. Upon seeing him roll over, issue the command. You can then repeat the command to the point where he rolls over without the added incentive of a treat. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
In order to train your dog, you’ll need love, patience and plenty of treats. These tips will get you and your pup started on a great relationship. It will take some time, but having consistent training will make a happier home environment for you both.
