You have made a wonderful decision! How do you move forward? The right training will make both you and your dog happy. The following tips will teach you everything you need to know to properly train you new pet.
Make it clear to your dog that their crate is their home. During meal time, place their food in the crate while allowing the door to remain open as they eat. The dog will recognize the crate as having delicious food.
Your dog will perform best on a healthy diet. A dog with an unhealthy diet may manifest several symptoms, including sluggishness and poor behavior. It can make your dog behave badly and is not good for their health. By simply improving the diet that the dog gets, you may notice a great improvement in how receptive they will be when it comes to training.
Your dog needs to be active frequently. Boredom often befalls an inactive dog, or he may find himself in a “mutt rut” with a dull and listless routine. A bored dog will try and find something interesting to do, and training is not usually interesting. When your dog gets regular exercise, he will be much happier and will pay attention more easily. Go for long walks and runs with your dog.
Dogs should never be tied up close to each other. Their chains could get tangled up and as they struggle to get free; there is a good chance the dogs can get injured. Becoming wrapped up could also cause death if one of the dogs gets so tangled and wrapped up his airway closes.
Treats are necessary when teaching a dog fancy tricks like rolling over. Start by getting the dog to lay down. Hold a treat between your forefingers near the left side of your dog’s head, and then slowly pass the treat in front of his face and to the opposite side. Ideally, your dog will use his nose to follow the treat, rolling his whole body in the process. While he rolls, say “roll over” and repeat this action until he is able to roll over with only the command. Never become frustrated if it does not happen right away. Once he does learn how, he will be a celebrity among other dogs.
