No matter what the size or breed, every dog has a similar mindset. You should try to think like a dog and you will have no problem with training. If one doesn’t fully understand this mindset, then here is some insight for them.
Make it clear to your dog that their crate is their home. You should put their food in the cage and leave the door open if it is time for them to eat. This will cause them to associate good things, such as eating, with their crate.
A healthy diet is important to the health and well-being of your dog. A poor diet can negatively affect them in various ways. Not only is this bad for their health, but it can influence their behavior towards you and their environment. Something as easy as proper nutrition can make a dog more obedient.
Pick a phrase you will say to your new puppy the whole time you are working on house training him. When it’s time for him to go outside to do his business, say “Elimination Device…Activate!” or whatever phrase you chose to call his attention to the task at hand.
To prevent your dog from barking, try to desensitize them to the cause of their barking. First, determine what it is that causes your dog to bark- a knock on the door, someone walking by the car, or other cause. Your goal is to show your pet that barking is not an appropriate response to these common stimuli.
Understanding the way a dog thinks and the way that they process information can be the important step in training a dog. With this understanding, anyone can effectively train their dog. An individual who has taken the time to learn about their pet is more likely to succeed in his or her training efforts.
