Sadly, many people rush out to buy a pet without prior consideration. Having a dog in the family requires the right preparation. You need to do this the right way so you do not have issues later on. This article provides the basics for canine training.
Get your dog into a feeding routine. Training your pet to expect when to get food will teach him a feeding schedule in which he could adhere to. Your dog will quickly finish their meal before you remove their dish.
Be sure to keep your dog active and engaged a great deal of the time. Dogs are easily bored. Not to mention that a bored dog is going to be more stubborn during training. It is easier for your dog to focus if he is happy and well exercised. It is a great idea to take your dog out on runs or walks through the neighborhood.
Keep your dogs tied at a safe distance from each other. The leashes or chains can become intertwined, causing harm to one or more of the dogs. For example, a large dog could tangle the chain with a smaller dog, wrapping the chain around the neck of the small dog, causing it to die.
Teach your puppy his name when you first start training him, as this creates a bond between the two of you. Call him by name frequently, and teach him to come when called. This is the first set of commands you should teach your new puppy. Try to spend a good amount of time with your new dog. In this way, he will be more receptive to advanced training later.
Any dog can be trained. It is always best to attempt to correct negative behaviors quickly for the safety and happiness of everyone involved.
