Every dog should have some sort of training to help correct poor behaviors and their family. This article is helpful advice on how to properly train your canine.
Before your dog can learn a new command it will take several repetitions. It may take as many as fifty repetitions before your dog learns the command. Be patient and continue using a command until your dog learns it.
Rewarding your dog properly and generously is the key to training.Giving them treats at the proper time and in the right amount is crucial. This is because a dog does not always understand what it’s being rewarded for if they do not get it at the right time.
Make sure the diet you feed your dog healthy and nutritious. A bad diet can negatively affect them in various ways. It can damage your dog behave badly and is not good for their behavior. Something as simple as improving their diet can make a dog more obedient.
The rule of thumb with puppies and house training is to remember: what is eaten will pass. To keep your puppies toiletry habits regular, feed him a high quality food 2-3 times a day at the same time each day. This will get your dog into a solid routine for bathroom breaks.
Try not to reinforce bad behaviors from your dog by accident.This means you must not reward your dog treats or attention for something he should not be doing. If the dog jumps at you, don’t encourage him by slipping him a morsel one night or allowing others to do so.
To house train your dog, get him on a set feeding and potty schedule every day. This will give you important forehand knowledge to prevent accidents and your dog an association of cause and effect to follow. This schedule also teach your dog “hold it”.
It’s important to avoid inadvertently encouraging inappropriate behavior if you want your dog to learn. Essentially, you must not give your dog something positive, like attention or a treat, when it behaves in a way you want to classify as negative. For instance, avoid rubbing the dog’s head every time they jump up when you get home.
Do not drag out your training sessions. If you wish to do more training, work in some break times so your dog can play before continuing with training.
You have to be consistent with your dog. If the whole family is involved in the training, be sure all people use the same commands, rewards and discipline. Your pet will have a few different words and always expect from his behavior.
It is very easy to teach a pooch to roll over as long as you have some tasty treats on hand. First, place your dog in the “down” position. Next, hold a treat near the floor on one side of his head, slowly bring the treat up and over the dogs head to the other side. As the dog uses his nose to track the morsel, he will simultaneously roll his entire body over. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. Be persistent and do not give up; it might take a while but will be worth it once they learn it.
