You love your dog and you also care for your possessions. Sadly, the dog is not likely to appreciate your things like you do, and things that appear good for chewing are ripe for attack. Read on for insight and advice that will help you to train your pet more effectively and with as little frustration as possible.
Correcting a dog should be done quickly and concisely. Do not rant on at length to your dog telling them how they were bad. Just say no and show them the behavior you expect. Use a tone which is obviously one of consternation.
When attempting to house train your pup, keep in mind that whatever goes in, must go out. Feed your pooch several times daily at the same hour. You will know when it is time for your the dog to use the bathroom, reducing accidents.
Try not to reinforce bad behaviors from your dog. In other words, you must avoid showering your pet with treats or rewards in response to performing some unwanted behavior. For instance, do not pet the dog lovingly if it jumps on you the minute you arrive home if this is something you are attempting to cure.
Try a phrase that you will stick with to train your puppy when you are house breaking him or her. Every time you take him outside, tell him “go potty,” (use whatever phrase you have chosen) and this will help him learn to focus and remember what he has gone outside to do.
When you are training your dog, be mindful of the time spent in one session. By spending too long on any single thing, your dog will likely become very bored and antsy. Do not spend more than 10 minutes on each session.
Training your dog is an important step in pet ownership. Your dog, then, will be less likely to be injured, and you will not be as frustrated (plus you’ll save money). With the tips found here, you should be ready to stop this behavior.
