Engaging in proper canine training can result in a happy, peaceful home for you as well as the dog. Try out a few of the following suggestions. You may find your interactions with your canine friend dramatically changed by these tips.
Put yourself in your dog's proverbial shoes, or paws, rather. When your dog is slow to learn, you may become frustrated. Understand your dogs position, to reduce any tension that you may have towards them. Try to see the world through their eyes.
Establish a quiet environment when you go into a room your pet is in. Your dog should have the patience to wait for you to get settled and signal that you are ready to play with him. Don't acknowledge them when you enter so that you can ensure a controlled environment for how and when playtime starts.
Chew Toy
Teething is painful, and providing chew toys helps alleviate the pain. Keep items that are potentially more painful out of reach. Instead of allowing it to continue chewing on your important furniture or toys, provide a well-loved chew toy. In cases where your puppy is suffering a great deal of pain, try soaking a washcloth in water and freezing it as a numbing chew toy.
Showing him that you are in control is the first lesson to teach your dog. The dog will have little respect for you and it won't obey if you do not show that you are the one in charge. Always walk in front, in the leadership position, letting your dog follow behind.
Patience is the greatest virtue in canine training. This will keep you and your pupy from becoming frustrated or angry. Remember that dogs really want to please their owners, but they got confused because we speak a different language that they do not understand.
Dog Loves
Primary reinforcement is key during training your dog. This utilizes something the dog loves as a means to reward positive behaviors. This can be in the form of treats or something that your dog loves to do. This way, your dog learns the right way to get what he wants.
During puppy toilet training, it's important to avoid accidents. Learn the signs that your dog needs to use the restroom. Pacing, snuffing and whining are common. When you know the cue, take action immediately. Get his leash so you can take him to the designated potty area. Give him praise for proper toilet behavior. Soon, your dog will signal you when he needs to go outside.
Do not give up when you're training your dog. Your canine will need to constantly be reinforced, or what you teach them can be forgotten. Training is something you do with your dog all the time, just like feeding and grooming him.
Regardless of your dog's age or level of training, he is sure to benefit from this advice. Just use patience in how you apply the advice. It is hoped that you and your pet will find much happiness together.
