Congratulations! What is the next step? Proper training can make the experience much more enjoyable for yourself and your pet. The following article will spell out some tips to help you train your beloved pooch.
When you correct your dog verbally, those corrections should be short and focused on the behavior. It’s not good to rant about how bad your dog is. Just tell them no, and point them in the desired direction. When speaking to your dog, use a voice that commands respect.
Teething can be painful which is why your puppy chews on things, so always give him a choice of chew toys to keep him from getting into trouble. You should replace the object with a chew toy as soon as this occurs so your dog understands what is okay to chew on. A frozen washcloth is a great way to help your pup ease his teething pain.
Repetition is key to teaching your dog new commands. It’s very likely to take many repetitions of one command in order for your pup to fully understand it. Try using the command more often and be very patient if you want your dog to learn.
Be certain your dog knows that you are the leader of your pack. You need to establish your authority, or he will ignore your commands. On walks with your dog, you should lead him and not the other way around.
Don’t approach a strange dog too quickly. Hold our your hand and slowly move closer. Doing so builds up trust with the dog. After your dog gets your scent, it will no longer fear you and will follow commands better.
Both dogs and owners are happy when the dog is well-trained. The advice in this article should create a new level of training between you and your dog.
