New puppies are amazing creatures full of love. However, as time passes, you may become more frustrated than happy. You will wonder what you just got into while cleaning up another mess. However, you can get that initial joy back by properly training your dog. This article is filled with useful tips you should use to train your puppy.
If you are attempting to crate train your dog, remember that it is a multi-step process. If your dog seems comfortable inside the crate when the door is open, shut it and feed them a treat. Start off only putting them inside for 10 seconds, and when they seem okay with that, slowly increase the time they are inside. If they get upset, it’s too fast.
Dogs can concentrate on one thing intensely and you will have to learn to break his attention. If you keep up with his training, your dog will look to you more often for direction rather than looking to the environment.
A number of repetitions will be necessary before your dog will be able to master a new command. You might have to repeat the same exercise up to fifty times before your dog remembers it. Continue repeating the command patiently, and eventually your dog will understand it.
Do not reinforce any negative behaviors accidentally. Never give your dog any treats or special attention for doing bad things. If you wish to keep your dog from begging for table scraps, don’t encourage him by slipping him a morsel one night or allowing others to do so.
Training your dog involves using equal amounts of patience, dog treats and love. The tips we’ve gone over will set you and your new pup onto the path of a loving wonderful relationship for the years to come. Success won’t happen right away, but if you are consistent, it will happen.
