Two Effective Ways on How to Train Your Dog
By using effective ways on how to train your dog, he can
be an invaluable companion. A dog that behaves
properly can live with his owners and the community
properly. And all it takes is executing ways on how to
train your dog. But as with any relationship, your
relationship with your dog will require a little work. Using
any of ways below should help you achieve your goal, but
it will involve lots of understanding, patience and
thinking like a dog.
How to Train Your Dog: Capturing and Luring
Your dog will respond best to positive re-enforcement.
Use bite-sized treats, his favorite toy, and a high pitched
soft-toned voice while training your dog. If you can
capture him in a behavior that you are trying to teach,
label that behavior with a command and immediately
reward him. You can also lure him into the behavior by
using a toy or treat to get his attention. Have him follow
the lure into the behavior that you are seeking. To lure a
“down,” take a treat straight down in front of your sitting
dog. When he does, label the behavior by saying “down”
and reward him. Using your leash or hands to force your
dog into position will not be as effective and might cause
your dog to fear you or the leash. Click here for more

How to Train Your Dog: Using a Hand Signal
You can attach a hand signal when teaching vocal
commands. Hand signals are a way to give your dog a
command when you not able to speak to him. Also, hand
signals are the best way to repeat a command. Instead of
saying “Sit…sit…sit!” you can say “Sit” once, and repeat it
with a hand signal only if your dog does not obey.
Otherwise, your dog may learn to not only sit once you
have repeated the command a number of times. On
another note, dogs are physical and visual creatures. In
the pack, they communicate with body language, so
hand signals may be more effective as the dog may be
more receptive to them than spoken word.
Being the leader of the pack is the best way for you to
keep your dog listening to you. Always be consistent and
firm with your dog. Have him work for attention and
feedings; have him do a command before he gets
something he values. This will remind him that you are
the leader of the pack.
