An adorable little puppy or dog can steal anyone’s heart. If you happen to already be the owner of one, good for you! Of course proper training is key to maintaining a healthy relationship with your dog. Your pet will know what is expected, and you will have confidence in them – whether you are at home or not. Read the tips and tricks below for some great dog-training advice.
When you correct your dog verbally, try making those corrections short and straight to the point. Avoid going on a rant about the dog’s “badness”. Inform them of your disapproval and move on. Also make sure that the volume of your voice commands their attention and lets them know that you mean business.
A dog has an inquiring mind and will look at one thing for quite a while until its attention is broken. With frequent practice, your dog will begin to focus on you and the signals you are giving him instead of other distractions.
Never chain two dogs too close to each other. This is due to the fact that they could become tangled in each others cords and end up injuring themselves when trying to get free. If a big dog is tangled up with a little one, they may get so wrapped up that air passages are blocked off, and one could potentially die.
Choose one phrase to use every time you want your dog to do his business. For example, you could use the phrase, “go potty” when you take them outside to help them remember what to do when you go outside and say the command.
Hopefully, the above article has given you some tips you can use to improve your relationship with your pet. Take what you need and leave the rest. Probably you will become attached to that adorable pup or faithful dog. Training is a vital part of success. A well trained pet is a happy pet. Congratulations on your furry friend!
