Any habit a dog owner wishes can be trained, regardless of whether he or she wants the dog to do or stop doing the behavior. While canine training will not make your pet perfect, it will go a long way in making him more obedient and a better pet. You will not find a better pet than a canine, but proper training is a must.
Your dog needs to be active frequently. When dogs have nothing to do, they can get bored. Dogs that are bored are not easy to train. When your dog is exercised and is happy, training will be easier. Go for long walks and runs with your dog.
Select an appropriately sized crate to foster solid crate training results. Don’t forget that puppies get bigger. Choose a large enough crate to offer extra space beyond your dog’s dimensions. The dog should have plenty of room to turn around and lie down without being crowded.
Every time you speak a command, it should be with the same tone and loudness level. Your dog will learn to recognize your tone and know they should obey. In time, your dog will understand what you want regardless of which words you use.
When it’s time to introduce house training to your dog, put him on a consistent schedule of eating and elimination. Your dog will adjust to the schedule and he will quickly learn that his outside time is when he should go to the bathroom. A regular schedule will also give your dog a chance to learn how to exercise self-control, as he will know that a trip outside is eminent.
Canine training intimidates many owners; but, it is actually very easy. With a good mindset and adequate training techniques, your dog can be trained very easily. Dogs are very smart and well apt to learning.
