If you’ve never trained a dog before, it may seem like a daunting task. There’s so much information to sort through about the proper way to train your dog. We’ve kept it simple, and have provided you with just a few of the important basics that will help you get started training your pup in the easiest way possible.
Your dog should know when calm time is to be had. Playtime is great but sometimes it is just not appropriate. You can retain control over the environment by allowing a few moments before acknowledging your pet. You are behind the decisions to play or interact.
Always buy a crate that is the correct size for your dog so you can train them well. Keep in mind that puppies grow big. Select a crate that is large enough for them to fit in when they are older. Your dog should have ample space to turn around inside the crate, as well as lay comfortably.
Be careful not to reward bad behaviors without realizing it. Never give your dog any treats or special attention for doing bad things. For instance, if you are trying to train your dog to not jump on you, you shouldn’t be petting them whenever they do so.
Teaching a dog how to roll over isn’t too hard with a few treats in your hand. Firstly, have the dog lie down. Then, position a treat near the floor to one side of him, raise it up and move it over to the opposite side. Ideally, your dog will use his nose to follow the treat, rolling his whole body in the process. As he rolls, state the command “roll over” in a firm tone. Repeat the process until your dog associates the command with the action. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
