You might have thought you had a good dog, but you could have ended up with a bad one. There is good news – you can train your dog so they are better behaved in a short time.
There are many ways to make crate training more comfortable and successful for your new puppy or dog. If they don’t want to go in the crate, try luring them in with a treat or chew bone. They’ll know the bone is in there and will want to go inside and get it. When they go inside to get the bone, give them lots of positive reinforcement.
Spoken directions should be made using a simple, concise and forceful tone. Do not whine and complain to your pet about their bad behavior. Just say no and direct them on what it is you desire for them to do. Also speak with authority so they understand you mean business.
Proper and generous rewards are critical to puppy training. Giving you pet treats in a timely manner is very important. This is because a dog does not always understand what it is being rewarded for if they do not receive their treat at the right time.
Set a schedule and routine for feeding your dog from the very beginning of your relationship. You can set a firm schedule by teaching the dog to anticipate that the food will be removed within 10 to 15 minutes of the start of mealtime. This will set a quality schedule for your dog so that they are ready for all meals.
Many dog owners are quite surprised at how quickly they can achieve good results with even a basic puppy training routine. If you and your dog need to spend some quality time together, try working with him on some of these canine training tips.
