Training your dog the right way can help to make your home as peaceful as possible for both you and your dog. Give these suggestions a try. You may find your interactions with your canine friend dramatically changed by these tips.
Here are a few ways to make crate training more positive for your dog. If your puppy doesn’t like being in his crate, put a dog treat or chew bone in it and close the door to keep him out. They will see the toy inside the crate and will want in the crate to get it. After he goes in the crate, reward him with praise and a treat.
Approach any unfamiliar dog with care. Walk slowly toward him and allow the dog to sniff your hand before trying to pet the dog. That is the first step in getting the dog accustomed to your smell and building trust between you. After your dog gets your scent, it will no longer fear you and will follow commands better.
For a dog to become house trained you should always have them on the same feeding schedule everyday, so their elimination time is always the same. By establishing a regular potty-time every day, you will get your dog in the habit of doing his business at the same time daily. Using this schedule can teach your dog how to hold their piddle until the upcoming potty break.
Remember to enjoy the time spent with your dog during training. When you play with your dog, you help make a stranger bond between the two of you. In return, he becomes more receptive to being trained. Having fun with your dog during training is one thing, but playing and having fun with your dog outside of training is also necessary.
