Every dog requires training to some extent in order to learn what to do and of course, what not to do. This guide contains helpful tips on how to effectively train your dog.
Crates need to be treated as the dog’s second home. Feed your dog inside the crate with the door open. This will give your dog a positive association with the crate.
Your dog should always give you its attention when asked. If you get your dog to focus on you, it will help his behavior.
Consistency is key when working on crate training with a young dog. When letting your dog out of the crate, be sure to immediately allow your dog to relieve himself. In time, the dog will have the ability to exercise restraint when it comes to nature’s call.
It is easy to train a roll with treats. First, make your dog lay down. Next, hold the treat close to the floor near its head, and bring it up over the dog’s head as you place it on the other side. He should then roll over while following the treat. Say “roll over” as you perform the maneuver. Do not let a lack of early success frustrate you. This takes repetition to nail down, but once you do, you will have the star dog on the block.
Whenever you want your dog to complete a task, you must reward it. They have to know that doing the right thing brings a happy ending. Doing so leaves no question as to whether a behavior is considered acceptable or strictly forbidden.
Disobedient or untrained dogs can easily make a mess of your house and threaten your sense of well-being. If you use the advice in this article, you will be ready to teach your dog that skills will help the owner-pet relationship.
