Dogs are naturally curious, which at times can lead to big time disasters! Proper training can transform your puppy, into the Lassie you thought you’d brought home.
When crate training an indoor dog or puppy, you may try some tricks. To get a hesitant dog enthusiastic about getting in a crate, put a tempting treat like a fresh chew toy inside and close it up while your dog is outside. They will want to get to the bone, which means going into the crate. Upon entering the crate, praise your puppy to make sure it knows it did a good job.
Your dog’s diet should be healthy and balanced. Eating a poor diet will negatively affect your dog in many ways. Not only is this bad for their health, but it can influence their behavior towards you and their environment. Improving your dog’s diet can make training him easier.
Punishing Tone
As you train dogs, it is necessary to utilize a consistent tone and volume when giving commands. The dog will know you’re telling them what to do that way. It also helps them understand the differences between a sharp punishing tone and a sharp non-punishing tone.
Always call your dog’s attention by doing the same thing. Start commands with their name all the time. Using their name will help to personalize your command. Dogs will respond instantly when their name is called if they know they are going to be rewarded.
When toilet training your dog, try to avoid accidents! Sometimes, your dog will have triggers for when its that time. Pacing, whining and snuffling are common. When you notice this, do not delay. Get his leash as you take him out. Good toilet behavior is worthy of praise. Over time, he will be able to signal to you his need to relieve himself.
Most owners are amazed at how easy it is to incorporate basic training your dog into their life and how quickly they start to notice results. So if the relationship with your dog is not as good as it should be, try a few of these suggestions.
