There are various reasons why dogs are trained. Some dogs are trained to protect, some to hunt, work, or just for pleasure. Dogs love to make their owners happy. Their desire to please makes them ideal pets. Use the following tips and advice for ways to make it easier to train your dog.
Reprimands should be delivered quickly and in a sharp tone. Do not drag on in a rant to your dog about how bad they are. Say no and give them a command to do the right thing. You should also be certain that your voice is loud enough to get their attention, but also conveys seriousness.
Stay very consistent and persistent when starting your crate training regimen. Shortly after you allow your puppy to exit the crate, he must be given the chance to relieve himself in the designated area. Eventually, they will wait until it’s the right time to go to the bathroom.
As your dog becomes increasingly more responsive to training, you can begin to give him more freedom. Your dog will be happy when he gets rewards for his good behavior, such as freedom. Like most things, too much freedom can be counterproductive, so exercise caution with certain liberties.
Whenever you want your dog to complete a task, you must reward it. 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. By rewarding your dog after it does something you want, it will realize that it’s doing a good thing. Therefore, it will be more likely to continue this good behavior.
Your dog requires at least one hour of exercise every day. When your dog gets enough exercise, training sessions are usually more effective and produce faster results. When your dog is exercised, he is also happy.
Your dog should learn he doesn’t need to respond when you say ‘no’. If you are training a pet, find a positive way to reward them. Saying ‘no’ is not a good command, and the dog won’t know how to react. Dogs need tailored training to pull through.
Start by teaching your puppy his name. Repeat his name regularly, so he will learn to come to you when he hears it. This is the first set of commands you should teach your new puppy. Try to spend a good amount of time with your new dog. This way, you will find future training to be infinitely easier.
Your dog training needs to be consistent. If there are several family members involved in training a dog, ensure each person uses the same techniques and commands. The dog will have an easier time learning if he has only one set of commands to learn and if he knows what response each behavior will receive.
When your dog is displaying unwanted behaviors, use water to spray him. Then your dog learns some things aren’t ok. Before you know it, your dog will cease the biting behavior and just be playful.
As previously mentioned, there are many reasons for undertaking dog training. The natural willingness of dogs in general makes most easy to train. With any luck, this article should have provided you with some advice on how to train your dog.
