Every dog needs to be trained at some point to ensure that they behave in ways that are beneficial to themselves and their family. You will find helpful advice about canine training in this article.
Your dog needs to be active frequently. Dogs get bored just as easily as children. A bored dog will try and find something interesting to do, and training is not usually interesting. Your dog will be more relaxed and willing to listen if he is exercised frequently. Make long walks or daily runs a part of your routine that you and your dog can look forward to.
Always give your puppy plenty of toys to chew on to help with teething pain. Otherwise, you might find your shoes becoming chew toys. Take it away, and give him a chew toy. A wet frozen washcloth is great for a puppy, who has teething pain, to chew on.
Always remain consistent when crate training any young pups. When you let the puppy out of his crate you must immediately and unfailingly allow him the opportunity to relieve himself. The dog will grow his bladder so he can hold it for longer and longer this way.
Be careful not to reinforce negative behaviors. Do not pay attention to your dog or pet it if he does something you are not happy about. For instance, it will be difficult or impossible to train your dog not to jump on people if you give your pet a friendly neck-scratch when he or she jumps on you.
Your dog needs an hour or more of exercise every day along with any training or bathroom breaks. When your dog gets adequate exercise, he can be trained more effectively and it can bring out your dog’s good behavior. Your dog will be happier and better behaved if he gets enough exercise.
Dogs that are not trained will drive you crazy and can destroy your property. Armed with these tips, you should be adequately prepared to work with your dog, providing valuable skills and behavioral guidance.
