Training your new dog can be discouraging at first.
Try to think about what it would be like your dog.It’s easy to get irritated with them when they aren’t learning the basic things you teach it.Don’t give up- think instead.Imagining the world as they see things may give you a new perspective in training them.
Try not to reinforce bad behaviors from your dog by accident.This means denying your dog with attention or treats or attention for something he should not be doing. For example, do not rub its head when it comes and jumps at you when you get home when you do not want your dog to do this.
Training Sessions
Pay attention to how much time you spend training sessions. Spending too long on training exercises will bore the dog. Try to limit initial training sessions limited to about 10 minutes.
If your dog is a jumper, hold his paws and squeeze them a little so he will know this is not acceptable. This will not hurt if done lightly, but it will be uncomfortable. They will quickly learn to stop jumping because they don’t like the sensation.
Your training sessions should be kept short. If you want to train more, work in some break times so your dog can play before continuing with training.
Always make use positive reinforcement when it comes to training your dog. Don’t ever yell at or hit them. This teaches your dog think you are imbalanced.
The first thing you should do when training a puppy is to make sure he knows his name. Use his name on a regular basis, and train him to come to you when called. These are the first few commands your puppy needs to learn. Spend a lot of time getting to know your pup, so he will learn how to gain trust in you. This way he or she will make him more receptive in receiving advanced training in the future.
Puppies have short attention spans and they cannot focus too much, so it is best to keep training to short but intense periods of time. If you overdo it, the puppy will probably not remember much except that it was an unpleasant experience, and that will make it more difficult when the time comes for the next training session.
A spray bottle filled with water in your dog is misbehaving. This will show the pooch that there are not acceptable.
Do not quit when you’re training your dog.You will need to give your dog continuous reinforcement, the dog may forget what you taught it. Training for your dog never ends, just like feeding and grooming him.
There are large, long dog beds around for larger dogs, or you could just get your dog a crib mattress. This is a great alternative because you can easily put a variety of covers simply by adding new crib sheets. Another good thing is that crib mattresses are waterproof.
A well-fed dog who has plenty of fun play toys is less likely to dig through your trashcans. Empty out your trash frequently, and don’t put irresistible things like bones in it.
Do not let the pressures of your day or life influence how you speak to your dog by speaking to it sternly for no reason. If the dog has done nothing wrong, do not treat him badly!
Everyone in the family should use the same commands when training your dog.
Learn how to use positive reinforcement in training without using treats. Treats are effective for teaching a new behavior. You probably don’t constantly have a treat in an “official” training session.
If you want to train your dog to eliminate indoors, make sure there is a dedicated area for this. Put down diaper pads in this area and direct the puppy towards them during bathroom time.
You need to work on training every day. Before you take your dog out, pet him or feed him, command him to sit. If you continually reinforce your training, your dog will soon realize that every command applies for every situation. If you only train at a certain place and time, your dog will not understand that he must listen to them at all times.
Chewing is something that can prove to be distressing and destructive behavior. Keep any tempting items that may tempt the dog out of its reach. You may think about using deterrent sprays on valuables that can’t be moved.
A great tip when teaching dogs is to make sure that your dog feels a sense of safety. If dogs feel unsafe, including you.
Be consistent with the words you use when trying to teach your dog with. Dogs are able to associate repeated words or actions with that particular type of behavior.
Consistency is the best method for training your dog. If someone trains the dog differently, it will become confused.
Regardless of the reason that you have decided to train your dog, he will need an assortment of various training exercises and a lot of positive reinforcement. When your dog is happy, he will want to perform better.
Dogs will learn best by repetitive technique and rewards. This is how a dog to learn new tricks. You must show them through repeated practice accompanied with rewards.
Using a collar and harness combo and only tugging on his collar when needed can teach your canine that he has to listen while harnessed, teaches the dog that he must obey while in the harness as well.
While some dogs train well together, it could be near impossible for you to train two dogs. If your dogs fight or goof off instead of paying attention, train your dogs separately so they both get the most out of their individual training sessions while you save yourself plenty of time and frustration.
