There are some great reasons to have a dog as a pet. Maybe it was the cute puppy with the longing eyes! However, having an obedient dog is very important. The fact is that they require training. The following article will teach you how to do just that.
Crates need to be treated as the dog’s second home. Meal times should be given within the crate while the door remains open throughout the meal. They will think of their crate as a happy place.
Your training sessions must be long enough for your dog to learn the desired behavior but no so long that he becomes bored. Start small and build up a bit daily. Note how far into the training session your dog loses his attention span. That’s the time to quit.
Make sure to give your puppy plenty of toys that are okay to chew, so that he isn’t tempted to chew other things that aren’t okay to chew. Immediately replace it with one of his designated chew toys. Puppies sometimes chew objects while going through their teething phase. A wet cloth that has been frozen is perfect for them during this time.
Always treat a dog after completing tasks. You want to make sure that your dog understands that he has accomplished a good thing. You will ensure that your dog knows how to tell right from wrong if you do this.
Are you eager to start training your dog now? Hopefully now the idea of training your dog seems a lot more doable. A well-trained dog is a good dog. Of course, training takes time. All of the time and work spent on training your dog will have paid off once you finally have the chance to give your pet a command and watch them obey. Use any ideas that seem like they might work in your home.
