Train your dog properly, and the two of you can coexist peacefully. Give some of the following tips a shot. A few of these ideas may be precisely what you needed to build a lasting friendship with your pet.
If you plan on using a crate as part of your puppy’s training routine, introduce the apparatus and its’ functions very gradually. When they seem comfortable in it with the door open, try shutting the gate and feed them treats through the wires. Leave them in for short periods of time, as little as 10 seconds. Work up from there. If the dog becomes overwhelmed, it means that you are moving too quickly for them.
Your dog needs to lead an active lifestyle. Almost all dogs have short attention spans. A dog without interest in what you’re doing is more difficult to train. A happy and well-exercised dog is an easily trained dog. Go for a long walk with your dog.
Chew Toys
Always give your puppy plenty of toys to chew on to help with teething pain. Otherwise, you might find your shoes becoming chew toys. Give the dog one of its own chew toys right away. Try a frozen washcloth to alleviate the pain of teething for your puppy.
A dog has an inquiring mind and will look at one thing for quite a while until its attention is broken. With enough training, you will have your dog focusing solely on your signals.
Don’t reinforce your dog’s negative behavior by accident. Do not pay attention to your dog or pet it if he does something you are not happy about. For instance, if you are trying to train your dog to not jump on you, you shouldn’t be petting them whenever they do so.
No matter how old your dog is, or how troublesome he has been until now, some of the above advice will make a difference. Just use patience in how you apply the advice. Your life will be better when you put in the time necessary to succeed.
