You might become frustrated when trying to train your dog, even more so if you just got your him. But if you implement the advice provided here, you will find out how to have a better relationship with your dog as well as a better understanding of its needs and yours.
Here are a few ways to make crate training more positive for your dog. If your dog doesn’t want to enter the crate, put a chew bone inside the crate, then close to door. They will see and smell the bone and will want you to let them in there to get it. Upon entering the crate, praise your puppy to make sure it knows it did a good job.
Try to walk in your dogs shoes before you criticize them. It’s easy to get mad if your dog is not doing the basic things you teach it. You should never give up on them, try looking at it from your dog’s vantage point. You should think about how your dog might see things in the world.
Shock collars are not a good idea. They might not work like they say they do and they cost too much. This is also a negative way to train your dog and might cause them to be aggressive. In general, using such techniques produces negative effects.
Let your dog have more freedom as he or she starts to behave and listen to commands more. Your dog will be happy when he gets rewards for his good behavior, such as freedom. Just be cautious not to give too much freedom at once, as this may have a counter effect on your training your dog.
Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of how to properly train your dog. Use this information to have a great puppy!
