Training your dog can be frustrating, especially with a new pet. However, if you follow the advice here and learn how to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog, you will have a better understanding of his needs and what you need.
Spoken directions should be made using a simple, concise and forceful tone. Do not drag on in a rant to your dog about how bad they are. Say no and give them a command to do the right thing. In addition, use an appropriate voice volume when you give commands, so that it grabs the dog’s attention and lets it know that you are serious.
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. Then hold one treat near his head and near the floor. Pull the treat over the dog until your hand is on the other side. As the dog uses his nose to track the morsel, he will simultaneously roll his entire body over. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
Let your dog have more freedom as he or she starts to behave and listen to commands more. The balance between freedom and obedience is a rewarding one. Just be careful that you don’t give your dog too much freedom, as this can cause negative behavior.
Among the first commands that you should teach your puppy is the command “leave it,” which tells the puppy to drop whatever he has in his mouth and back away from it. This simple command is beneficial in making him stop on chewing furniture inside the house.
Now that you have read the tips above, training your dog will be much easier. Your dog will soon be a sweet, obedient part of the family. Use the above advice to see how easy dog training is.
