Some dogs seem to be naturally obedient, but most need good, consistent guidance in order to function appropriately in a human world. The ideas below will ensure your dog is trained in no time.
Make sure you establish feeding routines and times for your dog. You can set a firm schedule by teaching the dog to anticipate that the food will be removed within 10 to 15 minutes of the start of mealtime. This will set a quality schedule for your dog so that they are ready for all meals.
Consistency is critical for crate training to succeed. When he comes out of the crate, you must immediately allow him to relieve himself in an appropriate place. Your puppy will eventually become able to relieve itself less frequently.
One of the first commands you need to teach your dog is how to step away from things you do not want him to touch. “Leave it” can prevent furniture chewing, save valuable objects from being destroyed and save your dog from consuming dangerous and/or poisonous substances.
Never stop training your dog. Training should not stop because he is not a puppy anymore. By continually reinforcing desired behaviors, your dog will continue to behave appropriately.

If your training sessions stress your puppy, he will grow increasingly less attentive in future sessions.
Using various voice tones for various purposes is a great way to train a dog. Each tone that you give should represent the emotion of the command that you giving. Keep your commands short and sharp while corrections should be louder.
Even if your dog is extremely unruly at the moment, do not despair. By utilizing the right technique and some tenacity, it is possible to train most dogs. Use the tips you’ve learned here to minimize the anxiety and maximize your results.
