What an exciting time! Now what do you do? Proper training will benefit both you and your canine companion. The following article will spell out some tips to help you train your beloved pooch.
There are different tricks you can try when you are crate training your dog. If the dog doesn’t want to go inside the crate, put a rawhide bone in there and shut the door. A tempting bone will prove too hard to resist, and the dog will be panting to get into the crate in no time. After they have entered the crate, be sure to give them praise so they understand that they have done a good thing.
Always maintain a calm environment as you enter any room your dog occupies. You should make sure they are calm when you come into the house or in the room that they are in. Don’t acknowledge your dog until you decide. This will establish a controlled atmosphere.
Dogs will focus on something and ignore all else unless something breaks that attention. If you keep up with his training, your dog will look to you more often for direction rather than looking to the environment.
It is easy to train a roll with treats. Begin by getting the dog to lay down. Then hold one treat near his head and near the floor. Pull the treat over the dog until your hand is on the other side. He’ll follow your hand and roll over completely. Say the command, “roll over” when he rolls over. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
Make sure to use the exact same tone with your dog every time you give him a command. This will let him know you are serious and he needs to listen. It also allows your dog to realize the differences in each command.
Well-trained dogs make happy dogs, and owners are usually pretty happy as well. With the tips in this article, you now have the information you need to get started with canine training.
