Rewards are essential to effective training. Treats are great to give your dog when he does something good, but timing is very important when doing so. Dogs will not understand why you are rewarding them if you wait too long to do it.
When you are going to be training your dog, it is important that you limit the length of the training sessions. Small, focused sessions are necessary at the beginning. You can figure out when your dog isn’t paying attention during training.
It takes many repetitions before a dog learns a new command. You might have to keep repeating something to a dog as much as fifty times for it to ‘click’. Being patient while trying the same task or command will allow your dog to understand it.
With patience and a handful of tasty treats, you can easily teach your pet to roll over. The first step is to teach your dog to lay. Next, hold a treat near the floor on one side of his head, slowly bring the treat up and over the dogs head to the other side. They should follow that treat with their nose, which should cause them to roll over. While he rolls, say “roll over” and repeat this action until he is able to roll over with only the command. Be persistent and do not give up; it might take a while but will be worth it once they learn it.
Because many people believe training your dog is difficult, they are usually shocked at just how simple this can be. It doesn’t have to be nearly as stressful or time-consuming. The key is having the right attitude, a lot of patience and enough discipline to follow through. Successful training your dog is achieved by people who have these three traits.
