Properly training your dog can provide you and your furry companion a better relationship. Use these tips. Some of these could tremendously impact you and your dog’s relationship in a positive manner.
Here are a few ways to make crate training more positive for your dog. Place a treat inside the crate and shut its gate in front of your dog. Temptation wins with this exercise; your dog will be eager to enter the crate when a treat is waiting for him. When your dog goes inside, give him plenty of praise, and let him know he is doing a good job.
Training Session
When it comes to training Fido, time is of the essence. The goal is to avoid overdoing it while ensuring that you are devoting enough attention to the animal. Start by having a shorter training session and add a little more time daily. See where your dog starts not paying attention to the training session.
Include plenty of physical activity in your dog’s training routine. Dogs can get bored easily. A bored dog will try and find something interesting to do, and training is not usually interesting. When your dog is happy and well-exercised, he will be more willing to pay attention to his training. Regularly take a walk or run with your dog.
Chew Toy
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. Instead of allowing it to continue chewing on your important furniture or toys, provide a well-loved chew toy. In cases where your puppy is suffering a great deal of pain, try soaking a washcloth in water and freezing it as a numbing chew toy.
It doesn’t matter what your dog’s age is. The information here can still make a difference. Remember, patience is a virtue. Both your dog and yourself are going to be very happy.
