There are many reasons people want their dogs to be trained. Dogs can be trained to hunt or to protect, and they can also be trained to do tricks for enjoyment. Dogs are generally known to want to please their owner. That is why they are so loved as a pet. The following article will allow you to learn how to properly train your dog.
Timing is critical during training your dog; you need to take the time training, but don’t overdo it. Start out with a small training session and up the time every day. Know when your dog does not pay attention when you are training it.
Teething can be painful which is why your puppy chews on things, so always give him a choice of chew toys to keep him from getting into trouble. Put the chew toy in front of it immediately so it learns that this toy is what it should be chewing. If the puppy is suffering any pain from teething, freeze a wet washcloth for him or her to chew on.
Don’t approach a strange dog too quickly. Hold our your hand and slowly move closer. This lets the dog get accustomed to your smell and he will be more trusting towards you. When he knows who you are, he’ll do what you ask.
A training program that pushes the limits of a dog’s attention and endurance is not likely to produce good results. Puppies do not have a very long attention span and limited energy, keep it brief and positive. If you push too hard, your puppy will remember it as a negative experience, and the next time you work to train him, it will be far more difficult.
As already discussed, canine training occurs for a variety of reasons. Dogs are known as “pleasers”, which makes a well-trained dog a joy to be around. This article, hopefully, provided you with some suggestions on how to train your dog well.
