Most people love dogs, because of the love and enjoyment they can bring. Puppies require a lot of time and work. Your puppy will need lots of training to become a well trained dog. Before long, you will be able to enjoy a well-trained dog by applying these tips.
It takes small steps to crate train your puppy; they must become accustomed to it. Once your dog seems to have acclimated to the crate itself, close the gate and feeding him through it. Leave them in for short periods of time, as little as 10 seconds. Work up from there. If your dog becomes restless, you may be ramping up too quickly.
Rewarding dogs properly and generously is the key to training. Treats are great to give your dog when he does something good, but timing is very important when doing so. This is because dogs tend not to understand what it’s being rewarded for when they do not get it at the proper time.
Try to think like a dog. When your dog is slow to learn, you may become frustrated. Try putting thinking like your dog would, rather than quitting. Consider how it would be to see the world in their eyes. Doing this will give you a completely different perspective, which should help you in training them.
Do not tie up several dogs in close proximity to each other. The dogs could get wrapped up and they may be injured. If the dogs are different sizes, it could be even worse. A small dog could easily choke to death if it were to get too tangled up with a larger breed.
With what you’ve learned, you are now ready to get these tips into play! Keep your patience strong, and give your dog positive reinforcement for the behaviors you want. It takes time, but it’s worth the endeavor.
