A lot of people want to train their dogs but they think it’s too difficult. Not understanding how to do it properly can cause uncertainty in novice owners. As you expand your knowledge of canine training, you will begin learning new methods on how to train your pet. The following article will help you develop successful strategies.
Make sure that there is a calm environment in the room where your dog is. During playtime allow your dog to be feisty, but teach him to remain calm when someone enters a room. Try not to acknowledge your pet when you set foot into rooms, and this can imbue calm environments most of the time, since your dog will wait for you to start play time.
Commanding control is the very first step in training your dog. You need to establish your authority, or he will ignore your commands. On walks with your dog, you should lead him and not the other way around.
It is a simple task to teach a dog how to roll over, just be sure to keep some dog treats handy! The first step is a simple “lay” command. The next step is to palm the treat and hold your hand beside your dog’s head. Slowly raise the treat over your dog’s head to the opposite side. He’ll follow your hand and roll over completely. 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. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
With any luck, the material you just read has given you a sense of confidence about dog training. Of course this is only a small sampling of the invaluable training resources you’ll find at your disposal. If these ideas don’t help you, there are many others to choose from.
