Make the dog know that the crate is it’s home when you are doing crate training. You should place the food bowl inside the crate and leave the door of the crate open while they eat their food. They’ll build a positive view of the crate this way.

TIP! If you have to give your dog a verbal correction, be sure that they are sharp, to the point, and short. Do not whine and complain to your pet about their bad behavior.

Generous rewards are a key part of training. Treats, toys and praise have to be given in the right doses and at the correct times. The reason is that dogs may not grasp why they receive rewards if they are given at odd times.

Make sure you establish feeding routines and times for your dog. Feed your dog twice a day and only leave his food dish out for fifteen minutes. This will help your dog learn his feeding schedule. Doing so will encourage your pooch to eat efficiently.

Make certain you’re consistent when you are crate training your young puppy. Shortly after you allow your puppy to exit the crate, he must be given the chance to relieve himself in the designated area. Eventually, the puppy will learn to wait to pee until given the opportunity.

TIP! Make sure the diet you are feeding your dog is healthy and nutritious. It is entirely up to you to provide a good diet for your pet.

Multiple repetitions will be necessary for a dog to learn new commands. You may need to repeat the command more than 20 or 30 times. Keep trying, your dog will pick it up.

Train your dog on a regular basis to make sure he understands the rules of the house. Often, owners get the feeling that they do not need to continue working with the dog once it is trained. Like their human owners, pets truly are creatures of habit. This shows that you need to do periodic refreshers so that your dog continues to follow the rules.

With the right encouragement, most dogs can learn to roll over pretty quickly. The first step is to teach your dog to lay. Hold a treat between your forefingers near the left side of your dog’s head, and then slowly pass the treat in front of his face and to the opposite side. As the dog uses his nose to track the morsel, he will simultaneously roll his entire body over. As he rolls, state the command “roll over” in a firm tone. Repeat the process until your dog associates the command with the action. Make sure you are patient because this is likely to take several attempts. However, your dog will eventually learn this command.

TIP! Give them chew toys for pain relief while teething, and keep everything else out of reach. Immediately replace it with one of his designated chew toys.

Try to get your dog on a regular feeding schedule. This will help you know when you have to take your dog outside, before he ruins your carpet. Being consistent will teach the dog to hold it until it is time to go outside.
