Many people choose to adopt a dog without really thinking it through first. You have to be totally committed if you want to own a dog. The training needed ensures they’re obedient. If you have adopted a dog that needs to be trained you can use the guideline that is provided in this article.
Timing is critical during training your dog, and you must spend sufficient time on training without doing too much. Start with a quick session initially, adding time with successive training periods. Note how far into the training session your dog loses his attention span. That’s the time to quit.
With patience and a handful of tasty treats, you can easily teach your pet to roll over. The first step is a simple “lay” command. The next step is to palm the treat and hold your hand beside your dog’s head. Slowly raise the treat over your dog’s head to the opposite side. He will probably follow the treat, rolling side to side as it moves. Say “roll over” as he performs the action so that he’ll learn the command. Do not get mad if it takes several tries. Once they learn this particular trick, they will be popular at the dog park!
You should always call your dog in the same way. Start each command by calling the dog’s name. His name will catch his attention and then he’ll know you’re speaking to him. Dogs often respond to their name immediately and know you intend for them to pay attention.
Use positive reinforcements when training your dog. Use petting, positive words, and occasion treats to reward your dog whenever he does something good. You should not strike your dog or scream at them. This is not a particularly effective form of training. If you want good results, you must be positive, consistent and firm as you train your dog.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve had your dog; you can utilize these tips to train any dog. You need to do it right now before something happens you might regret.
