Sure, your pet is a beloved member of the family. Nevertheless, everyone in your home must abide by rules and respect your property; the dog is no exception. Sadly, your dog doesn’t understand that your things are valuable to you. If it looks chewable, it is probably going to be chewed. The following article will show you how you can train your dog to let him know the rules of your house.
It is of utmost importance that you reward your dog consistently and correctly while training. Quantity and timing are important when it comes to rewards. This is because dogs tend not to understand what it’s being rewarded for when they do not get it at the proper time.
A main focus of training is timing your sessions appropriately. Start with a quick session initially, adding time with successive training periods. Know when your dog does not pay attention when you are training it.
As your dog gets better with training, you can start to give him or her more freedom. Your dog will be happy when he gets rewards for his good behavior, such as freedom. Just be cautious not to give too much freedom at once, as this may have a counter effect on your training your dog.
When house training your dog, be sure your dog has a predictable feeding and elimination routine. Then you will be aware when your dog needs to go outside to use the bathroom. Conversely, this also teaches your dog that he may need to wait to go to the bathroom.
In conclusion, you need to stop your dog from chewing on all of your stuff. This can prevent an injury to your dog and also save money and frustration for you. Use the advice in this piece and you will have what it takes to curtail excessive chewing.
