Some people will get a dog before they realize what kind of responsibility it holds. You need to be very dedicated to training a new pet. Dogs must be thoroughly trained in order for them to be well-behaved and not give you any problems. Follow the advice in this article to teach your dog how to behave properly.
When your dog behaves well in a training session, reward him in a calm manner. If you are able to command your dog to do something the right way, then it is good to calmly reward your dog. If you are overly excited, the dog will become that way too. Remain calm, expect the dog to be calm and provide appropriate rewards.
Make sure you feed your dog healthy food. A bad diet is unhealthy for dogs for many reasons. It can negatively impact a dog’s health and disposition. Something as simple as improving their diet can sometimes have a huge impact on how receptive they are to training.
Before your dog can learn a new command it will take several repetitions. You may need to repeat the command more than 20 or 30 times. Try using the command more often and be very patient if you want your dog to learn.
Right at the moment they do the behavior you are trying to reinforce, give the verbal command of approval. A word like “yes” can be an effective bridge between the time that the dog exhibits the behavior and the time that they receive the reward.
Training your pet to roll over very easy. Just remember to have treats in hand. 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. He should roll his body over while following the treat. Whenever you dog does roll over, actually say the words, “roll over.” Continue to do this until your dog actually rolls over whenever you say the words without using the treat. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
Any dog can be trained. You want to avoid the chance the dog will hurt someone, so moving quickly to start training is important.
