A lot of dogs are given away to the pound because the owner does not take the time to train them right. It is possible for a dog that is trained well to become a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted family member. Training your dog can be simple to do, if you use the following steps.
Dog Becomes
Take small steps when crate training your dog. If they are uncomfortable with the door closed then try to feed them snacks to reassure them that they are okay. Use small increments of time, and build them up as your puppy or dog becomes more relaxed with the process. If the dog becomes upset, then you need to take a step back and slow down the training.
It is essential to have the correct timing for your training sessions. Start by having a shorter training session and add a little more time daily. End the session as soon as your dog’s attention begins to stray.
Try to view things from your dog’s perspective. Frustration may come quickly if your dog does not pick up your training of basic things quickly. Instead of being frustrated, try to think like your dog. Imagining the world as they see it might give you a new perspective on training them.
If you have to keep your dogs outside, never tie them up too close to one another. It is possible for the chains to become intertwined, and the animals can be hurt as they try to get free. For example, a large dog could tangle the chain with a smaller dog, wrapping the chain around the neck of the small dog, causing it to die.
As discussed in this guide, having a healthy and happy dog is not hard to have. Love, attention and training are the key components for a well-rounded dog. Follow the steps listed above and your dog will become, and remain, an important part of your family.
