Your dog can be taught and trained how to act properly and drop very annoying habits. If you have not trained these traits out of your dog, use these tips to correct this behavior. By following a solid training program, your dog can really be your best friend.
When corrected your dog verbally, make sure to use sharp, concise wording. Don’t rant on and on about how bad your dog is. Firmly say no and redirect them. The tone of your voice should let them know you are serious about the command you are making.
A dog has an inquiring mind and will look at one thing for quite a while until its attention is broken. If you keep up with his training, your dog will look to you more often for direction rather than looking to the environment.
If you have to keep your dogs outside, never tie them up too close to one another. It is just too easy for dogs in such a situation to tangle their leads together, and this can lead to serious injuries for both of them. Particularly in the case of a large dog and a small dog, the animals may get so tangled that the smaller dog has his airway cut off and dies.
A number of repetitions will be necessary before your dog will be able to master a new command. You may need to repeat the same command lesson from 25 to 30 times before your dog learns it. Firmly and steadily repeat the command. Remain patient and eventually the command will be learned.
Always be sure to have a reward or tasty morsel for your dog when he follows a command or learns something new. You want your dog to recognize that when you give it a command and it does the task, it is doing what you want it to do. This is the proper way to make sure that your dog learns the difference between right and wrong.
Walk Properly
You should train your dog to walk properly on his leash. When they walk properly, it makes both of you safer when you both go walking.
People should understand that training your dog does not have to be all that difficult. With the right mindset and good information, the owner can accomplish successfully training their companion. Dogs can do very well when their owners give them the proper training.
