Perhaps you are starting to wonder why you wanted a dog in the first place after a few incidents. Fortunately, continuing your training sessions will pay off, with a dog that is well behaved and joy to be around.
Dogs can have a one-track mind and remain focused on one thing until you break the dog out of it. Your dog can learn to focus less and less, except for your commands, by using repetition.
Use consistency when you are crate training your young puppy. When your puppy gets out of its crate he will need to relieve himself. As you continue this training, your pet will begin to wait until he gets to the appropriate location to relieve himself.
You need a commanding control if you are starting to train your dog. If the dog does not understand that you have control he will ignore your commands and act with outright disobedience. It is important to walk ahead of your dog when taking him for a walk. This will let him know that you are the leader.
It is not difficult to teach a dog how to roll over, and having some treats on hand makes it easier. First, make your dog lay down. Then hold one treat near his head and near the floor. Pull the treat over the dog until your hand is on the other side. He will naturally use his nose to follow the treat, thus rolling over his whole body. As he is rolling over say, “roll over” and praise them immediately when they do. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
Most dog owners are surprised at how simple it is to include canine training routines into their lifestyle and how fast they see results. Try some of the tips above if you feel a strain on the relationship between you and your dog.
