There are many reasons for getting a dog. Perhaps a cute puppy made you melt and you brought it home without really thinking. Regardless of what you liked about your dog, you will want it to behave well. But this takes some time to do! Read on to find out how to accomplish this task.
When crate training an indoor dog or puppy, you may try some tricks. A yummy treat can help to entice a hesitant dog into the crate. Your dog will get excited at the prospect of the treat and soon be eager to enter the crate. Give your dog some praise when he gets inside, so that he further associates being in the crate with good behavior.
Consistency is critical for crate training to succeed. Whenever you let your puppy out of the crate, he must be given the immediate chance to go potty. The dog will grow his bladder so he can hold it for longer and longer this way.
Treats are necessary when teaching a dog fancy tricks like rolling over. First, make your dog lay down. Then, use the treat to draw his head from one side to the other. They’ll follow your treat with their nose which will cause them to roll over. As he is rolling over, give the “roll over” command, and do this repeatedly until he can roll over with just the command and without the treat. It will probably take multiple attempts, but you will be the talk of the town when the trick is learned.
By this time, you should be ready and excited about moving forward with training. The tips above offer some excellent insight into the proper strategy and supply some great ideas for those needing help. A great dog starts with obedience training. It’s easy to have one too. But, the work is well worth it. Especially when you are spending time with your happy, well-behaved companion. Use the advice which applies to your situation and get the job done.
