There are several reasons why people get dogs. Maybe it’s because you couldn’t resist that precious face! Of course, you want a dog that will be obedient and listen to you. You must train to get there. You will find great tips below that will help you to properly train your dog.
Make sure you feed your dog healthy food. A bad diet is unhealthy for dogs for many reasons. Without proper nutrition, your dog’s general health will suffer and there may also be direct effects on behavior. Something as easy as proper nutrition can make a dog more obedient.
Dogs should never be tied up close to each other. Their chains could get tangled up and as they struggle to get free; there is a good chance the dogs can get injured. For example, a large dog could tangle the chain with a smaller dog, wrapping the chain around the neck of the small dog, causing it to die.
Your dog must realize that you are the leader of the pack. If the dog does not understand that you have control he will ignore your commands and act with outright disobedience. For example, when you walk your dog you must be in front and you should insist your dog follows behind you.
As you begin training your dog, create a verbal cue that allows your pet to understand the exact moment that they correctly complete your command. If you do not have a treat you can reward your dog with, pet it and talk to it in a soft voice until you find a treat.
When training your dogs, always use the same tone of voice and volume level when you give a command. These tones let your dog know that you are serious. They will also know when you are being positive.
Do not drag out your training sessions for too long. Dogs can’t pay attention for a long time, so keep sessions short and dynamic. Allow you dog a break every fifteen and then resume training if desired.
When you begin training your puppy, create a bond with him by first teaching him his name. Use their name often, and then teach them how to come to you when called. These are the first few commands your new puppy needs to learn. Spend a lot of time with your new puppy, so he will learn how to gain trust in you. Once your puppy trusts you, it will be easier to train him.
Ready to begin? Take these ideas and begin employing them in your training sessions. It’s great to have a well-trained pet. That doesn’t happen overnight. The outcome is worth the time spent, though! Use the above advice that most applies to your situation.
