There are a number of reasons for having a pet dog. Maybe it was the cute as a button pup or the big, beautiful eyes that got you. It should go without saying that an obedient dog is the ideal dog. Training is what accomplishes this. The below article provides some excellent tips for doing so.
When crate training your new puppy, take it in small manageable steps so the animal can become accustomed to the changes easily. If they are uncomfortable with the door closed then try to feed them snacks to reassure them that they are okay. Begin with small intervals, and work your way up to longer times. If your puppy starts acting distressed about going into the create, you need to slow things down.
A main focus of training is timing your sessions appropriately. Begin with brief sessions and extend them from there. Observe when your dog starts to stop paying attention during the session.
Make sure you feed your dog healthy food. Eating a poor diet will negatively affect your dog in many ways. Without proper nutrition, your dog’s general health will suffer and there may also be direct effects on behavior. With the right healthy diet, your dog will be more energetic and eager to please during training sessions.
Dogs will focus on something and ignore all else unless something breaks that attention. With enough repetition, your dog will focus on other things less and less, opting to wait for signals from you.
Are you finally ready to continue training your dog? With any luck you have learned at least a few new things to help you develop a suitable training program for your dog. Nothing is better than a well-trained dog. And it will take time. You won’t regret the time you invested training your dog when you experience the joy of owning a well-trained pet.
