By doing research about puppy training you have already accomplished the first and single most important step in the process. The following tips and techniques will help you train your dog quickly and efficiently.
If you have to give your dog a verbal correction, be sure that they are sharp, to the point, and short. Do not waste time ranting about how bad your dog is. Simply say no and direct them to what you want them to do instead. Also make sure that the volume of your voice commands their attention and lets them know that you mean business.
Reward good behavior during training with control. When your dog responds to a command in the right way, you should reward this behavior when he is calm. While you might be happy with this accomplishment, your excitement plus theirs can cause this situation to get out of control. Act calmly, expect calmness, and then appropriately reward the dog.
It is important to have an appropriately sized dog crate. Don’t forget, your puppy will grow. Get a crate that is the right size for your dog when it gets older. They have to be comfortable moving around inside to ensure they aren’t crowded.
Make sure to use the exact same tone with your dog every time you give him a command. Your dog will learn to recognize your tone and know they should obey. This also assists the dog in understanding what the difference is between a tone for a command and the tone for discipline.
You need to show your dog how to properly walk while on a leash. This will make sure you are both safe when talking walks.
It is now time to take what you have learned and put it in to practice by training your dog. Making sure you have good information is a great way to start training your dog.
