Ways On How To Train Your Dog
Training your dog not only benefits you, it also helps to keep your dog safe. There are many
great and gentle ways to effectively train your dog. You must be patient and consistent.
Schedule half an hour each day to train your dog and no more. Dogs who are forced to train
for long periods of time become bored and distracted.
It is best to train your pet without unintentionally affirming his undesirable behaviors and
mistakes. Avoid giving them any rewards they haven't earned. This includes things like
petting them when they jump on you at the door.
If you choose to use a harness exclusively, you will have less control over your dog which
might lead to a frustrating training experience. You can use a combination of a harness and a
collar to harness train. Put both on your dog, and only tug the collar as necessary. This will
teach your dog to obey when he is wearing the harness by itself.

Flexibility when training your dog, will come in handy during times when the dog is finding it
difficult to learn. You can then tweak techniques to fit your dog and discover what he
responds best to.
Magazines, dog-training books and the Internet are all great resources to help you train your
dog. Talk to others who own the same breed of dog. Adjust your plan to the individual needs
of your pet based on the tips you have gathered.
Don't overdo your training sessions, keep them brief and interesting for best results. Dog
attention spans only go so far, so make sure not to go on too long. Aim for less than 10
minutes per session.
It is important to have a consistent training method when crate training young puppies. If you
remove the pup from the crate, see to it that he has the means to go potty. This will teach
your dog that he can wait until he gets out of the crate to relieve himself.
For successful dog training within a family unit, everyone should be actively involved with the
training to emphasize consistency. Every family member that participates in training the dog
needs to use the right commands. This is because consistency is needed for successful
training.
You can entice your pet to sit on his haunches by waving a treat before his nose as he
stands. Move the treat right above his head and behind him. The dog will look upward in
order to see your hand. This behavior is a natural way to get them to sit.
Never use treats as the only reward for good behavior. Food is necessary to a dog's survival,
so you should offer other types of rewards. It is important to show your dog affection and
offer him praise in addition to offering a reward.
Using these ideas can help you feel confident about starting dog training. You will have a
better-behaved dog and a happier, healthier home. When training using the tips above, you'll
find it easier to train your dog, especially by being consistent and patient.
