Dog training is a learning process for you as well. That’s really because an owner must train himself, before he can effectively attempt to train his dog. There is no basic, training your dog instinct bred in humans. It is a task that must be learned. This article can assist with that.
You can train a pooch to roll over fairly quickly if you have some treats to hand out. The first step is to teach your dog to lay. Next, hold a treat near the floor on one side of his head, slowly bring the treat up and over the dogs head to the other side. This will cause your dog to use their nose to follow the treat. As a result, your dog will roll over. Whenever your dog does actually roll over, say “roll over” out loud. Repeating this over time forms a mental association in your dog’s mind that eventually causes him to roll over on command. It may take some time for your dog to perfect the trick, but it’s a popular move and one that is sure to impress others.
As your dog gets better with training, you can start to give him or her more freedom. The key to a satisfying life for your dog is a balance of freedom and obedience. Don’t give your dog too much free reign though.
When giving commands to your body, your tone and volume level should remain the same. This tone tells the dog that you mean business and that they need to obey. Doing this also ensures that your dog will know the difference between your “you’re in trouble” voice and your “do as I say” voice.
Now that the people who are interested in training their new pet dog have, hopefully, learned some new tricks, they can proceed to pass them along to their pets. Once a dog is on its way to learning, the owner will begin to appreciate the dedication that he or she has shown for doing the right thing for man’s best friend.
