There are many benefits to teaching your dog obedience. For example, you dog will be well mannered, and you will be a superior dog owner. This article helps get you started with positive training your dog. You’ll both like the time you spend together.
Verbal corrections must be sharp and direct. Don’t drag on and rant how your dog is bad. Just say no and show them the behavior you expect. Make sure your voice sounds firm and businesslike.
Consistency is really the secret to crate training puppies. If you remove the pup from the crate, see to it that he has the means to go potty. Over time, the puppy will be able to wait until the appropriate opportunity to answer the call of nature.
Treats are necessary when teaching a dog fancy tricks like rolling over. Initially, try to get your dog to lay on the floor. Hold a treat between your forefingers near the left side of your dog’s head, and then slowly pass the treat in front of his face and to the opposite side. They should follow that treat with their nose, which should cause them to roll over. When they roll over, yell “roll over.” Keep doing this until they do it just with the command. It will probably take multiple attempts, but you will be the talk of the town when the trick is learned.
Dogs need at least 60 minutes of exercise time every day, on top of training and bathroom breaks. Being sure they have enough exercise time can ease training efforts and encourage proper behavior from them. Your dog will be happier and more responsive when he gets the exercise he needs.
Training brings a plethora of rewards. You are likely to enjoy the training more and more as it progresses. You and your dog will enjoy learning how to work together and follow the rules.
