Are you frustrated by your dog’s behavior? If this is the case, your dog could benefit from some training. Putting in some extra training time can help boost your dog’s obedience. Read on how to do it the right way.
Ensure that your dog gets enough activity. When dogs have nothing to do, they can get bored. If you do not have the full attention of your dog, they will be difficult to train. A happy and well-exercised dog is an easily trained dog. Walk or run your dog frequently.
Give your puppy his own toys that he can chew to remove pain due to teething, and keep him away from chewing other items. Then, give it something that it is allowed to chew on if it likes. A frozen washcloth is a great way to help your pup ease his teething pain.
Always have a treat for rewarding your dog. Your dog should realize why you are happy with him. This is how they’ll know what to do and what not to do.
Understand that getting your dog to respond during the times that you tell him or her ‘no’ is not helpful. While training your pet, you need to give them a lot of positive praise and strokes. The word ‘no’ itself is not enough to make your dog understand they need to stop what they are doing. Each dog has their own quirks.
Avoid accidents when potty training your dog. Watch for signals that your dog has to go out to relieve himself. Pacing back and forth, snuffing and whining are some common signs. Don’t put it off when your dog is doing these things. Immediately pick up the leash and go outside to a preferred spot. Good toilet behavior is worthy of praise. Over time, he will be able to signal to you his need to relieve himself.
By training your dog properly, you will be better able to enjoy him. If your pet is particularly problematic, you may be tempted to give up. Fight these feelings away and focus on your goals to train and discipline your pet. Remember these tips and watch your dog become trained into obedience.
