People of all ages love the companionship of a pet, and dogs are by far one of the most popular choices. Young puppies are infamous for being destructive and mischievous. Read on for training tips that apply to all dogs.
It may take several times for your dog to learn new commands. It’s very likely to take many repetitions of one command in order for your pup to fully understand it. Continue trying the same command and be patient, your dog will get it.
Think of a word you can use as a command during training. Certain words like “yes” are great for bridging the time between obeying an order and receiving the reward.
Choose one phrase to use every time you want your dog to do his business. Every time you take him outside, tell him “go potty,” (use whatever phrase you have chosen) and this will help him learn to focus and remember what he has gone outside to do.
Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise in addition to scheduled training and potty break sessions. Taking care to see that the dog exercises enough makes their training work go more smoothly and reinforces the importance of good behavior at all times. A dog who has proper training and enough play time will be a happy dog.
Training Sessions
Training sessions with your dog are best when kept short. The attention span of a dog is pretty short, so it is important to keep them interested in training by keeping the training short. If you do have long training sessions, break it up so your dog can rest a little bit.
You should not let the love of your pets get in the way of keeping a nice home. Some dogs are destructive and can ruin the look of a home’s interior and exterior. With a little training, though, those same dogs can be trusted to not wreck the house. Apply these training your dog tips to have a dog and a presentable home.
