Establish a calm environment when you enter a room that your dog is in. Play time needs to be a distinctive time you initiate. Don’t acknowledge dogs the moment that you set foot in the house.
Anytime your dog does something good, make sure you reward him. It is important for your pet to understand that you have certain expectations, what those expectations are, and that he will be rewarded for complying. You need to do this because your dog must know what they can and cannot do.
You have to be consistent with your dog’s training. Make sure that others are using similar commands if they are training your dog. Your dog will learn better if the commands are ones he is familiar with.
To train young dogs to walk with a leash, you must first have the dog wear a collar during playtime. Leashes are important for control and identification if you lose your pet.
When you begin training your dog, do not give him a treat or reward just to make him stop misbehaving. This just teaches the dog what it can do and what power it has over you. When a dog barks, never reward it, for example.
When you are consistent, your dog will learn to postpone his elimination until he is at an appropriate spot. When you are home with your dog, remember to take him out every hour. Praise him when he uses the bathroom outside. Don’t scold a dog after an accident. The dog is not aware that this is undesirable behavior, and scolding will not change that fact. Once your dog drinks or eats, take him out 15 minutes after finishing. Also, be sure to take him outside after he has exited his crate.
Now that you know what to do with your puppy, it is time to put these tips into action. Take time to show him what you expect of him and be patient as he learns. It won’t be an overnight success story, but with time you both will be much happier.
