If you want to be happy with your dog and you want it to be happy, training is essential. An obedient dog will be easier to live with and you will know what can be expected. After proper training there will be less to worry about and you will be able to live him or her home alone with confidence. Training isn’t always easy, but it is well worth the effort. Follow these ideas to help get you started.
When you’re working on training you dog, you must always try to teach it how to know that it’s their home. At meal times, try to place their food in the crate by leaving the door wide open while they’re eating. The dog will recognize the crate as having delicious food.
A puppy should have chew toys to get him through the teething pains. Keep other things out of his reach. You need to replace that with a designated chew toy. If your puppy seems to be suffering a lot from teething, a frozen washcloth to chew on can give him some relief.
Shock Collars
Refrain from using shock collars and similar training devices. They are both expensive and unlikely to work properly. Also, using devices such as shock collars can restrain your dog while discouraging good behavior. In general, using such techniques produces negative effects.
Training your dog teaches both you and the pet what each can expect out of the other. It sets rules and boundaries that makes the dog safer, happier and more of a joy to be around. Always provide consistent support for lessons you have imparted to the dog. Always keep a close eye out and do not hesitate to enforce proper punishment on any violations of the designated rules. After you have laid the groundwork with your dog, the sky is the limit.
