Dogs make people happy and love unconditionally. Adding a puppy to your household involves a great deal of adjustment. Dogs require thorough training. Take a look at the advice presented above, and you can properly train your dog very quickly.
Ask yourself how your dog is seeing things. You can easily become frustrated with your pet if they do not learn the basics quickly or not at all. You should never give up on them, try looking at it from your dog’s vantage point. Looking at things with this fresh mindset can help you to find new and effective ways to train your dog.
Reward your dog’s good behavior. When your dog responds to a command in the right way, you should reward this behavior when he is calm. Don’t get too excited, though, as your excitement may cause them to break their concentration. If you are able to maintain your calm, you can expect your dog to maintain calm too.
Be sure to keep your dog active and engaged a great deal of the time. Dogs can get bored very easily. If you do not have the full attention of your dog, they will be difficult to train. Your dog needs proper exercise to function to his highest potential. Go for long walks and runs with your dog.
Avoid restraining two dogs too closely together. The dogs could get wrapped up and they may be injured. If a big dog is tangled up with a little one, they may get so wrapped up that air passages are blocked off, and one could potentially die.
Now that you understand how to deal with your puppy, the time has come to apply the above tips. Keep your patience strong, and give your dog positive reinforcement for the behaviors you want. It takes time, but the reward of an obedient pet is well worth the wait.
