Love your dog, but also love your material possessions. Unfortunately, he does not appreciate things like you do. If something looks like a tasty chew toy, it will probably get chewed. This article will give you advice on how to prevent your dog from chewing on things.
Give your puppy time to be okay with a crate by taking the training one small step at a time. When your dog appears to be at ease while inside the crate with the door ajar, you can help him adjust to the crate even further by slowly latching the door and rewarding him with treats fed to him through the spaces between the wires. Keep the gate closed for short periods of time, and work your way up to longer times. If the dog becomes agitated, slow down a little more to make them more comfortable.
Keep your voice firm and level when delivering commands to your dog. The tone should be firm, so your dog understands that you are issuing a command, not a suggestion. It also allows your dog to realize the differences in each command.
When training your dog, keep track of time during each session. If you spend a lot of time on only one thing, your dog can get bored and frustrated. Only spend 10 minutes during the first couple of sessions.
Make sure your dog knows how to obey, to reduce the frequency of their barks. When it starts barking, show them the treat and say the command until it quits barking. Then, allow them to have the treat. When you repeat this action multiple times, your dog will eventually learn that the order means to be quiet.

Apply the tips you learned here to your canine training plan and your dog can be the well-behaved pet you’ve always wanted.
