Are you considering adopting a dog, but you aren’t sure of how to properly train it? Want to squash bad behavior? Well, you have found the right article. Keep reading to learn easy, simple tips on how to train your dog to be your best buddy.
When corrected your dog verbally, make sure to use sharp, concise wording. Yelling and screaming at your dog is counterproductive. Just say no and show them the behavior you expect. Also make sure that the volume of your voice commands their attention and lets them know that you mean business.
Your dog needs to learn good feeding habits, and this is best accomplished with a clear routine. He has to know when the food will arrive and it should be on schedule, but he also needs to know when the food will be removed again. After some time training the dog this way, it will begin to finish the food before it is time to pick up the bowl.
Make sure that your dog stays in a relaxed area. Play time needs to be a distinctive time you initiate. Avoid acknowledging him as you enter. This helps to maintain a controlled atmosphere.
You should always say commands in the same tone and volume. This will let him know you are serious and he needs to listen. You should also work on developing different tones to use in different situations. For example, you can have a sharp one for disciplinary purposes, and a firm, but not-as-sharp one for simple commands.
Knowing what you now know on how simple it is to train any dog, why hesitate? Use these tips as soon as possible to teach your dog how to behave. Dogs love to know what you want them to do and follow your commands. All they need is someone to teach them. Get started now!
