It takes many repetitions before a dog is able to learn new commands. It may take 25-50 tries before your dog understands a command consistently and thoroughly. Being patient while trying the same task or command will allow your dog to understand it.
Never reinforce your dog’s bad behaviors. In other words, you must avoid showering your pet with treats or rewards in response to performing some unwanted behavior. If you wish to keep your dog from begging for table scraps, don’t encourage him by slipping him a morsel one night or allowing others to do so.
Refrain from using higher end training gadgets, such as shock collar devices. They are often scams and, in any case, are completely unnecessary to proper dog training. Using shock collars can actually end up having a negative impact on your training. Generally speaking, these techniques often produce undesirable results.
In puppy training, use the same volume and tone of voice when you state a command. The tone should be firm, so your dog understands that you are issuing a command, not a suggestion. Your dog needs to understand that there is a difference between the tone you use to discipline your dog from the tone you use to give an order.
Now that you have new dog training knowledge, you should feel better about your training abilities. Keep in mind that you can always learn something new about canine training, so never stop learning and applying what you learn.
