You might have thought you had a good dog, but you could have ended up with a bad one. With some training, you can have a well behaved pet.
Give your puppy time to be okay with a crate by taking the training one small step at a time. When they’ve settled down with the gate open, slowly shut it and pass treats through the gate. Begin with small intervals, and work your way up to longer times. If your pet seems upset or agitated, you may need to slow down.
When correcting your dog verbally, use sharp, short, concise commands. Don’t rant on and on about how bad your dog is. Be firm and get them to do your bidding. Pitch your voice in such a way that your dog will recognize your vocalizations as commands.
When you train your dog, you need to establish control. Be friendly with your dog, but also be firm. It is important to walk ahead of your dog when taking him for a walk. This will let him know that you are the leader.
Having a regular feeding schedule makes house training much easier by putting their elimination needs on a schedule as well. This will help you know when you have to take your dog outside, before he ruins your carpet. Following a schedule will also help your dog learn how to “hold it” until his next potty break.
You need to leash train your dog. This is both for the dog’s safety and your own, as well.

Begin your training regimen with an easy task for your dog. This will give them instant success and serve as a building block for your training regimen. You will see more results as you are training this way.
