You have thought about keeping your dog inside, but this can be difficult due to the fact that he does not know his boundaries. They may chew on furniture or use your carpet to go to the restroom. Follow the advice in this article and soon you and your pet will be living together in peace and harmony.
Consistency is key when working on crate training with a young dog. When you let the puppy out of his crate you must immediately and unfailingly allow him the opportunity to relieve himself. The dog will eventually learn that there are proper times to go outside and use the restroom.
Have verbal cues so that your pet will know exactly when they complete a command correctly. The word “yes” may serve as a good gap-filler in between the dog’s good behavior and the giving of the reward.
Modify and update your dog’s training as necessary, so he remains in compliance with the rules. It is easy to feel that once your dog’s training is over, the lessons are learned and will stay with the dog forever. Don’t allow your dog to get out of the habit of good behavior. So, it’s very important that you review your training with your dog regularly.
Make sure a reward is always handy for whenever the dog does what you want. You want your dog to recognize that when you give it a command and it does the task, it is doing what you want it to do. This will teach your dog what behavior is correct and expected.
In conclusion, you may want your dog to stay inside even though that is a difficult thing to do. No longer should you have to suffer with chewed shoes and scratches on the furniture. The steps here will help you make your dog a more manageable pet.
