Aggressive behaviors, excessive barking and general disobedience are annoying to a dog owner. These bad habits can be changed. The information ahead will allow for not only correcting, but hopefully removing these bad habits as well. With a good training program, any dog can be a trouble-free companion.
When crate training an indoor dog or puppy, you may try some tricks. To entice a hesitant puppy into the crate, give it the incentive of a toy or bone inside, with the door shut. The puppy will want to enter the kennel to retrieve the treat. After your dog goes into the crate, give positive reinforcement to increase the chance that he will go into the crate again.
Timing is important when you’re training your dog. You desire to spend time in training them, but you also do not want to go overboard. Shorter training sessions are better at the beginning of your program. See where your dog starts not paying attention to the training session.
Use firm control to elicit desirable behaviors from your pet. If you are able to command your dog to do something the right way, then it is good to calmly reward your dog. You might be happy about the progress your dog has made but you need to quell your excitment. Stay calm, have them be calm, and reward them for appropriate behavior.
Be sure to keep your dog active and engaged a great deal of the time. Dogs can become bored very easily. Bored dogs are difficult to train. Your dog will be more relaxed and willing to listen if he is exercised frequently. Walk or run your dog frequently.
Dog owners should now realize how easy the battle to train a dog can be when approached correctly. With the right mindset and good information, the owner can accomplish successfully training their companion. Some dogs may require a little more time or possibly a different training technique; however, successful puppy training requires patience from the owner.
