A dog is very similar to a television remote that needs to be programmed to work with a TV. The capabilities to work are already there in the remote but a person needs to manipulate it to get it to work with the TV. Dogs already have in them the abilities to be trained but a person needs to follow this article to bring them out.
When training your dog, do it in short sessions, no more than fifteen to twenty minutes each session. This keeps your dog from becoming bored and uninterested in the training. More importantly, it ensures that your focus is entirely on training, which is vital to ensuring your dog’s success.
When training your pooch, patience is a virtue. All dogs learn at their own pace, and getting frustrated with your pet often adds to the dog’s confusion. Avoid punishing your dog for misbehavior and offer rewards for good behavior instead. Dogs love treats, but you can also reinforce the desired behavior with love and affection.
Show your dog that you love them and are proud of them. It’s easy in dog training to focus on the negative and try to show your dog that what they are doing is wrong. Make sure that you also work to accentuate the positive and praise them when they are doing well.
When you take your dog out to public places, make sure that you remain in control of him at all times. It is good etiquette to assure that he does not run up to other dogs or people without their permission. Not all people are comfortable around dogs and not all dogs get along.
When training your dog make sure you never stop training. This may sound silly but it is actually very sensible. Your dog may learn tricks quickly and not forget them, but dogs never stop learning so you need to take advantage of this by teaching often. Also, it never hurts to reinforce what has already been learned.
If you are looking to train your dog, make use of a variety of resources such as magazines, general dog training books and books specific to the breed of dog you are looking to train. Speak to people who have your breed of dog, to get ideas from them. Customize your training program for the dog based on what you learn.
Rewarding your dog generously and properly is essential in training your dog. Giving your dog treats at the right time and in the right amount is important. This is because a dog does not always understand what it is being rewarded for if they do not receive their treat at the right time.
When you are training your dog, do not blame it for bad behavior if it is sick. You should never force a dog to do obedience training when it is not feeling well. Take your dog to the vet to see what is making it sick, and put off the training until it is doing better.
Once a person has figured out how to bring out the dogs abilities to learn and be trained it is simply a matter of practicing those techniques. The dog will enjoy pleasing the owner as much as the owner enjoys seeing the dog responding to the training they are administering.
