Never let your dog walk you. You must be the one leading the walk, and keep the dog well-behaved throughout. This article can help you learn about canine training techniques that every owner should know.
Healthy Diet
Keep your dog on a healthy diet. Too many table scraps can unbalance your dog's diet. A poor diet can affect their behavior as well as their health. With the right healthy diet, your dog will be more energetic and eager to please during training sessions.
A dog has an inquiring mind and will look at one thing for quite a while until its attention is broken. Dogs learn by repetition so with continued training, your dog will immediately focus on what you are saying.
Do not tie a dog up near another dog, or dogs. If chains get intertwined, the dogs can get hurt. Particularly in the case of a large dog and a small dog, the animals may get so tangled that the smaller dog has his airway cut off and dies.
It takes many repetitions before a dog learns a new command. It's very common to repeat a command up to 50 times before your dog can learn it. Just remember to keep trying and be patient. Eventually, your dog will learn.
Do not reinforce any negative behaviors accidentally. Don't give your dog any attention or treats when he is being bad. If they jump on you, don't pet them, for example.
Pick a consistent phrase to use with your puppy while house training. Use the same word or phrase each time you bring him out to go to the bathroom so that he understands what you want him to do and makes a memory link between the phrase and the act.
If you encounter a dog with whom you are not acquainted, you should do so slowly and with the back of a hand outstretched. This helps the dog become familiar with your scent and engenders trust. Dogs are more likely to be friendly and obedient if they recognize you.
When training your dog, one of the first commands they should be aware of is the “drop” command, which lets them know they should drop any items they have in their mouth. This is a good way to keep your dog from chewing things and make sure they do not chew dangerous objects.
Let your dog get a minimum of an hour of exercise every day, and do this in addition to standard breaks outside for potty and training. When your dog is worn out, his behavior will be better. An exercised dog is a happy and responsive dog.
When you're not educated on training your dog, you might feel overwhelmed with your dog. Use these tips and your sorrows should float away.
