Some dog owners are blessed with naturally obedient animals. You might not be one of them, but that’s no reason to sit still and put up with a willful dog who acts aggressive, behaves improperly in the house, or refuses to obey simple commands. Utilize the following tips to help turn your dog into a well behaved family member.
Timing is important when puppy training, so you should spend sufficient time training him but should not overdo it. Start out with a small training session and up the time every day. Note how far into the training session your dog loses his attention span. That’s the time to quit.
When your dog behaves well in a training session, reward him in a calm manner. Reward them only when your dog is calm after it performs a trick. While you may be overjoyed with headway you are making, showing excitement causes the dog to become excited and makes you lose control. Stay calm, require calm from the dog, and give the reward.
Dog Learns
It takes many repetitions before a dog learns a new command. It can take as many as 50 repetitions of one command before your dog learns it. Firmly and steadily repeat the command. Remain patient and eventually the command will be learned.
Pick a phrase you will say to your new puppy the whole time you are working on house training him. For example, you could use the phrase, “go potty” when you take them outside to help them remember what to do when you go outside and say the command.
Don’t despair if your dog happens to be unruly right now. You can train most dogs as long as you know what to do and exercise patience. Utilize the advice above in order to ease the process of training and produce terrific results.
