Congratulations on your new dog owner.What will the first step that should be taken when introducing your dog to his new home? Proper training can make the experience much more enjoyable for yourself and your canine companion. These guidelines offer helpful insight into the art and science of training your dog.
If you want to teach your pet to use a crate, first try these simple tricks. If your puppy seems reluctant about entering the crate, place a chew toy inside and close the door to the kennel. Once they know the treat is in the crate, you will have to hold them back to stop them from getting the bone because they’ll be so eager. After they enter the crate, be sure to give them love and attention to let them know they did something to please you.
Consistency is the key in crate training. When your puppy out of its crate you must immediately and unfailingly allow him the opportunity to relieve himself. The dog will grow his bladder so he can hold it for longer and use the restroom.
The rule of thumb with puppies and house training is to remember: what is eaten will eventually come out the other end. Feed your pooch several times a day. This will give you an idea of when to take your dog into a solid routine for bathroom breaks.
Your dog should be eating the right amount of healthy food. A bad diet is unhealthy for dogs for many reasons. Not only does it affect the dog’s health, but it can have an impact on its behavior. A proper diet can affect how well they react to training.
Give your dog a clear verbal cue that tells them they’re doing the right thing.
Make sure a reward is always handy for whenever your dog does something successfully. You want your pet to know that he has accomplished a good thing. This is the best way to make sure the dog knows the difference between good behavior and bad.
Include plenty of physical activity in your dog’s training routine. Dogs can get bored very easily. A bored dog will try and find something interesting to do, and training is not usually interesting. Your dog will be more relaxed and willing to listen if he is exercised frequently. A long walk or a brisk run are great ways to get rid of some of your dog’s excess energy.
Pay attention to the length of your training your dog in one session. Spending too long on training will bore the dog. Try to keep the initial training sessions to 10 minutes.
If your canine jumps on top of you, gently squeeze his paws. This will not hurt your dog if done lightly, but it is an uncomfortable feeling for them. They should learn to avoid doing it in order to avoid the sensation.
Training your dog to start rolling over is easy, but be sure to have some treats. The dog has to lay down first. Afterward, bring the treat above the dogs head and follow over to their other side. He should follow the treat with his nose, causing him to roll his whole body over. Say “roll over” as you perform the maneuver. Be patient if they don’t get it right away; they’ll get it soon enough!
Your training sessons should be short. If you want to train more, let your dog take a break to get some energy out.
Make sure that your dog understand he does not need to engage in any type of response when you deny him. Find some positive and supportive ways to enforce training when you train your furry friend. Saying ‘no’ does not teach your dog. All dogs are different and their training ought to be customized.
You must teach your dog how to walk correctly when the leash is attached. This will ensure both his safety and yours when you take him on walks.
Both dogs and owners are happier once a dog is well-trained. Using the ideas presented here, you have what you need to start today with training your dog.
