A trained dog is a happy dog. When your dog is well-trained, both of you will fully understand what behaviors are acceptable. You will not have to worry about leaving him home along or taking him to public places. While the process takes considerable time and effort, training your dog to respect commands, do tricks, and behave properly will make it all worthwhile.
From the very beginning, get everyone in the family active with your dog's training. While they may have a single person working with them regularly, getting everyone involved can enforce that they must always follow the rules and it will make it more consistent.
Accidents will happen sometimes when you house train your pet. Always immediately clean-up any messes your dog makes. The smell from a pet's feces or urine can stay in the carpet. The puppy may return to that spot if it isn't cleaned quickly. Look into different cleaners, especially enzyme cleaners, available at any pet store.
Some dogs have specific bad behavior triggers, so distract him during these times. Alternatively stated, when your pet dislikes the company of other animals, try to distract him or her whenever you encounter them out in the neighborhood. This will establish a positive relationship with that stimuli.
When tying up your dog, make sure it is not close to another chained dog. If there chains become entangled with one another it could lead to an injury. In the case that a large dog and small dog become entangled, the large dog's rope or chain could cut off air circulation to the small dog, and it could be severely injured or die.
Use good quality treats when training your dog for best results. Consider using human food for these treats, even if you don't normally allow your dog to eat such food.
You need a commanding control if you are starting to train your dog. Your dog will neither obey nor respect you if he believes he is the leader of your household. Don't let your dog control the direction or pace of your walks.
Use small steps when training a dog or pup to get into a crate, so that they can become familiar with it. If they are uncomfortable with the door closed then try to feed them snacks to reassure them that they are okay. At first, only close the gate for a short time, then gradually extend the time as your dog becomes more comfortable. If the dog shows signs of distress, you may be progressing too quickly.
You may want to consider training your dog to grasp a toy with his mouth. When he puts the toy around his mouth, use a training clicker and offer him a treat. Once he's got that down, only reward him every five times he completes the action. As soon as the dog does this, use the clicker and give a reward. After this, you should only reward your dog after he holds the toy in his mouth.
Teach your puppy his name when you first start training him, as this creates a bond between the two of you. Use his name on a regular basis, and teach him that the appropriate response to hearing is name is to come over to you. You should make sure your puppy learns their name and knows to respond to it. By setting aside some special time for you and your puppy, you will give him the opportunity to get to know you, as well as trust you. When you set this trust early on, the puppy will be more open to the next steps in training.
Many dog owners know how hard it can be to train their dog. With a positive attitude and sufficient knowledge, dog training can be a huge success. Dogs are wonderfully loyal so they will enjoy the training period, if only for the fact they are trying to please you.
