Is your dog’s behavior leaving you stressed and frustrated? If that is the case, you may need to do more canine training. If you take the time to properly train your dog, you will find you and they are better off. Read on how to do it the right way.
Encourage your dog to be as active as possible. Dogs are easily bored. If you do not have the full attention of your dog, they will be difficult to train. A happy and well-exercised dog is an easily trained dog. Bring your dog along when you walk or jog.
Learning how to show authority is the foundation of all dog training. He needs to know that you are the authority before he will let you train him. Do not let your dog walk ahead of you when you go on walks.
Pick a consistent phrase to use with your puppy while house training. Whenever you bring him outside, repeat your chosen phrase in a firm but gentle tone to encourage him to undertake the action and associate the act with the place.
Whenever you’re training your dog, be sure and use the same vocal tone when giving commands. The dog will know you’re telling them what to do that way. Doing this also ensures that your dog will know the difference between your “you’re in trouble” voice and your “do as I say” voice.
Teach your dog a silent command to avoid barking. Show the dog a treat as incentive, then repeat the command until they obey it. Only give the treat when you dog has done as you have asked. In time, your dog will learn to be quiet if he wants a treat.
Having a well-trained pet makes time with him much more enjoyable for everyone. Substantial improvements in behavior are possible for even the most difficult dogs with consistent training. When you use what you’ve learned, success will be yours.
