Dogs need to be trained for a variety of reasons. Some are trained to hunt, work, protect, or just to be more pleasant. Dogs’ general willingness to please makes them ideal students. This makes them an ideal pet. Here are some tips that can make training your dog a snap.
Make sure to let your pet know a crate is their home initially. Leave the crate door open and place food inside of it when it’s time to eat. This will create a good association between the crate and their food.
When crate training your new puppy or dog, there are a few tricks you can apply. If your puppy seems reluctant about entering the crate, place a chew toy inside and close the door to the kennel. A tempting bone will prove too hard to resist, and the dog will be panting to get into the crate in no time. Upon entering the crate, praise your puppy to make sure it knows it did a good job.
Timing is critical during canine training; you need to take the time training, but don’t overdo it. Start with a short session and gradually add more time to it. You can figure out when your dog isn’t paying attention during training.
Keep your dog calm when you enter the room. Your dog should have the patience to wait for you to get settled and signal that you are ready to play with him. Don’t acknowledge your dog until you decide. This will establish a controlled atmosphere.
As you can see, dogs are trained for a variety of different reasons and applications. Dogs have an innate desire to please their owners which make them very enjoyable companions. Hopefully this article has given you some ideas that will make it easier to train your four-legged friend.
