To a new owner, training a dog may seem like an impossible task. Given the amount of advice available on the subject of canine training, you could easily experience information overload. Get started gradually by reviewing the following tips and seeing how well they work with your dog.

When you correct your dog verbally, ensure your corrections are direct and short. Never ramble on about the dog’s failures. Just say “no” and show them what to do instead. In addition, use an appropriate voice volume when you give commands, so that it grabs the dog’s attention and lets it know that you are serious.

TIP! Make sure the diet you are feeding your dog is healthy and nutritious. Your dog will not benefit from a poor diet.

Consistency is the key to puppy crate training. Give the puppy consistent opportunities to relieve himself every time you let him out. In time, the dog will have the ability to exercise restraint when it comes to nature’s call.

Next, you must hold one treat close to the floor off to one side of their head and slowly bring it up and over the dog’s head to the opposite side. Ideally, your dog will use his nose to follow the treat, rolling his whole body in the process. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. Be patient while he masters this trick. He will be a star once he does!

TIP! Never reinforce your dog’s bad behaviors. This means you must not reward your dog with attention or treats for doing something you don’t want it to do.
