Training your dog is a lot like programming a new TV remote. The potential is there, but it’s your job to suss it out. Most dogs can be trained, and this article is going to teach you how to do that effectively.
Question how your dog views things. Sometimes a dog will be a slow learner, and this can be frustrating. You should never give up on them, try looking at it from your dog’s vantage point. Imagining the world as they see it might give you a new perspective on training them.
The more active your dog is, the healthier it will be. Boredom often befalls an inactive dog, or he may find himself in a “mutt rut” with a dull and listless routine. Dogs that lose interest are hard to train. If your dog is fit and content, he will be much more likely to heed your instructions. Go on extended walks or runs with your dog on a regular basis.
When tying up your dog, make sure it is not close to another chained dog. The chain from one dog could wrap around the second and the dogs could get hurt trying to get free. Becoming wrapped up could also cause death if one of the dogs gets so tangled and wrapped up his airway closes.
Your dog needs to be up to date on his training. This will help to make them more obedient. Most owners think training once is all that it takes. However, pets are ruled by habits, structure and routine in much that same way that humans are. It is important that the training your dog receives is reinforced regularly.
A pet owner who can help a dog reach its potential will have an easy time and a long, enjoyable life spent in the company of an obedient animal. Dogs love to make their owners happy, so training them is actually enjoyable for them as well.
