A dog or cute little puppy can steal the heart of many a person. If you’ve got one and wish to get another, that’s great! A well-trained dog, however, is crucial if you want to keep the peace in the home. Once your pet knows what you expect from them, you will be able to leave them home alone without worrying. Read the article below to get some helpful tips to contribute to a wonderful owner/pet relationship:
Teaching a dog how to roll over isn’t too hard with a few treats in your hand. First, place your dog in the “down” position. Next, hold the treat close to the floor on one side of the dog’s head, and slowly bringing it upwards and over to the dog’s other side. This will cause your dog to use their nose to follow the treat. As a result, your dog will roll over. Each time he sways to one side, tell him to “roll over”. Keep doing this until the treat is no longer needed. Put your frustration aside and he’ll be performing this trick all over the place in no time.
When giving commands to your body, your tone and volume level should remain the same. This lets them know you’re serious and that they must obey. Additionally, it distances discipline commands from normal commands.
Pay attention to how much time you spend training in one session. If you spend too much time doing one training exercise, your dog will become bored. Early on, your training sessions should be limited to less than 10 minutes.
These tips should really help you gain training confidence. Use these ideas wisely. If you are not already attached to your dog, you soon will be. The key to being successful is training! Keep your pet well trained. Congratulations on being a pet owner.
