Training a new dog can be discouraging at first. Go over this article to learn more about canine training and how to establish a bond with your pet.
Timing is of the utmost importance when it comes to training your dog, so make sure you spend lots of time training, but don’t overdo it. Small, focused sessions are necessary at the beginning. Observe when your dog starts to stop paying attention during the session.
Only reward your dog if they are calm. If your dog is responding to your commands and is not overly excited, give him a treat. You might be happy about the progress your dog has made but you need to quell your excitment. Stay calm and bestow rewards calmly too.
Give your puppy something it can chew to help it lessen teething pains, like a toy or a piece of rope. Keep any items you treasure out of reach of your puppy while it is teething. Put the chew toy in front of it immediately so it learns that this toy is what it should be chewing. Chew toys are essential for puppies who are experiencing pain from teething. A great alternative is a frozen wash cloth.
Understand that during training, what your dog eats will go out of their system. Feed your pooch several times daily at the same hour. That way, you’ll know when you need to take your doggie out to “go”.
It is easy to train a roll with treats. Start by commanding the animal to lie down. Afterward, bring the treat above the dogs head and follow over to their other side. He will naturally use his nose to follow the treat, thus rolling over his whole body. Be sure to say ROLL OVER as your dog is rolling. Eventually, he will learn to perform the trick upon command. Don’t get frustrated if it takes a few tries, once he learns this trick he’ll be the star of the dog park!
Use the tips you just read and your dog will soon become a lot easier to manage and become easier to live with. When you use what you’ve learned, your dog will become a perfect citizen.
