Dogs provide us with unconditional love and lots of joy. No wonder they are the most popular pets in the US. Bringing home a dog could mean lots of work. There is need for much training. Use these tips on a consistent basis and you will see a trained dog in no time at all.
Timing is important when you’re training your dog. You desire to spend time in training them, but you also do not want to go overboard. Begin with shorter training sessions and gradually increase the time each day. Try to determine when your dog stops paying attention to you during your sessions.
Try to see things from your dog’s perspective. Frustration can be easily acquired if the dog fails to learn simple things in a rapid manner. Instead of giving up entirely, you might consider trying to put yourself in your dog’s mindset. Your dog may not understand because it hasn’t been said enough.
Choose a crate that corresponds to the size of your dog to facilitate its training. Puppies grow up quickly. Choose a crate that is sure to fit them suitably when they hit adult size. Your dog should be able to easily turn around and sleep without being overly crowded.
Give your dog a regular elimination and feeding schedule, so you can house train them. This will help you know when you have to take your dog outside, before he ruins your carpet. When a dog has a schedule, they also learn the valuable skill of “holding it” until you take him for his next scheduled trip outside.
After you have brought your new furry friend home, its time to begin training him. Practice patience and reward your dog with tons of positive reinforcement. Some of the advice may be a challenge, but it will be worth it.
