Training your dog can feel overwhelming if you haven’t attempted it before. There is so much information available on training dogs that it’s easy to become completely overloaded with no idea of where to begin. Use the following tips to train your dog.
When you’re working on training you dog, you must always try to teach it how to know that it’s their home. You should place the food bowl inside the crate and leave the door of the crate open while they eat their food. They’ll build a positive view of the crate this way.
When you correct your dog verbally, those corrections should be short and focused on the behavior. Don’t scream and yell and throw a fit. Just say no and direct them on what it is you desire for them to do. Let your dog know that if you raise your voice they need to pay attention.
It is essential to have the correct timing for your training sessions. Start out training for just a few minutes each day and work up to half an hour or so over time. Pay attention to the point when your dog starts to get restless.
Keep in mind that you’ll have to do a lot of repetition in order to each your dog new commands. It’s very likely to take many repetitions of one command in order for your pup to fully understand it. Continue repeating the command patiently, and eventually your dog will understand it.
It is best to pick a phrase for potty training your dog, and use it consistently. When you are outside with the puppy, say the chosen phrase to keep him focused on the task he is to accomplish.
We hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Keep them in mind and learn some tips of your own. Each dog is different and responds in his own way to training.
