You wish the dog could stay inside, but his propensity to damage your things is making this tough. Your dog might have pooped on the carpet or chewed up your new sneakers or the corners of furniture. You will see from this article how to have a dog that can live indoors without such things happening.
Generous rewards are a key part of training. Giving your dog treats at the right time and in the right amount is important. A dog doesn’t always know when it’s being rewarded if they don’t get a treat at the proper time.
Your dog may not learn a command right away. You might have to keep repeating something to a dog as much as fifty times for it to ‘click’. Be patient and continue using a command until your dog learns it.
The first step of training your pooch should be to assert your control. If the dog does not understand that you have control he will ignore your commands and act with outright disobedience. Don’t let your dog control the direction or pace of your walks.
Training is an ongoing process – your dog needs to be constantly reminded of the rules! A lot of owners will train their dogs once and not conduct any refreshers. However, pets are ruled by habits, structure and routine in much that same way that humans are. That is why it is vital to ensure your dog maintains a strict rule system.
Dog training starts with patience. This will cause you not to be frustrated and angry with your dog during this process. Your dog wants to make you happy, but sometimes it just does not understand you.
Finally, you would like your dog to live indoors with you, but it is becoming quite a challenge. Your pet is ruining all your things, and your patience is wearing thin. Utilize the above information to help train your dog.
