Congratulations! What is the next step you should take? You and your new dog will both be happier if he is well trained. This article has lots of helpful advice about training your dog.
Keep your dog well exercised and active. Dogs require mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. A dog without interest in what you’re doing is more difficult to train. When your dog is exercised and is happy, training will be easier. You and your dog can run or walk together daily.
It is important to have a consistent training method when crate training young puppies. Shortly after you allow your puppy to exit the crate, he must be given the chance to relieve himself in the designated area. When done with consistency, your dog will trust you and wait for the right time to relieve himself.
It is a simple task to teach a dog how to roll over, just be sure to keep some dog treats handy! The first step is to get the dog to lay down. Next, hold the treat close to the floor near its head, and bring it up over the dog’s head as you place it on the other side. He should roll his body over while following the treat. Whenever your dog does actually roll over, say “roll over” out loud. Repeating this over time forms a mental association in your dog’s mind that eventually causes him to roll over on command. It will probably take multiple attempts, but you will be the talk of the town when the trick is learned.
Teaching a dog to walk correctly while on its leash is important. When they walk properly, it makes both of you safer when you both go walking.
Use positive reinforcement when puppy training. Use petting, positive words, and occasion treats to reward your dog whenever he does something good. Refrain from any physical contact if your dog does not follow directions. It only abuses the dog and causes him to be even more disobedient. Firmness, positivity and consistency are the keys to solid canine training.
Pay attention to your tone when you are disciplining your dog. Dogs can easily sense how their owners or trainers feel. An adequate stern tone can help reinforce their discipline.
A properly trained dog is proud and content and his owner is usually quite pleased as well. With this article, you have learned some tips and tricks you can use when it comes time to train your beloved dog.
