You’re taking your dog for a walk, not vice versa. This guide will give you the right guidelines that will help you train your dog effectively and efficiently.

There are few effective ways to approach the matter of crate training your puppy or dog. If they shy away from the crate, try placing a chew bone and shutting its gate when they are not inside. They will want to get to the bone, which means going into the crate. When he finally goes into the crate to retrieve the toy, shower the dog with praise.

TIP! Make sure your teething puppy has a bunch of chew toys readily available to him, and keep other things he likes to chew on away from him. Immediately replace the object with one of the intended chew toys.

When you are working on crate training with your dog or puppy small steps is what works best for them to get used to it. If your dog seems comfortable inside the crate when the door is open, shut it and feed them a treat. Keep the gate closed for short periods of time, and work your way up to longer times. If the dog becomes upset, then you need to take a step back and slow down the training.

When attempting to house train your pup, keep in mind that whatever goes in, must go out. In order to regulate your dog’s toileting habits, you should feed him a good quality food at the same times each day. Doing so allows you to gain a clearer picture of when your puppy might need to relieve himself outdoors.

Start with the easy stuff. You will remain motivated if you can train it successfully right away, and your dog will get used to obeying you. This ensures your outcome is positive.

TIP! Repetition is the key to success when teaching a dog a new command. You might have to keep repeating something to a dog as much as fifty times for it to ‘click’.

When your dog jumps on you, take its paws in your hands and lightly squeeze them to let it know that jumping on people is not an acceptable behavior. While this will not seriously hurt the animal, it is certainly unpleasant and therefore makes a powerful statement. They should learn to stop jumping because they don’t like the reaction they get.

Without proper training knowledge, you will be unable to train your dog. Armed with the information in this piece, you have what it takes to transform your dog into an ideal family member.
