Hooray! Now what do you do? Training your dog is beneficial to both you and your pet. Training your dog begins with knowing methods and best practices. These tips will help you understand these.
There are few effective ways to approach the matter of crate training your puppy or dog. Place a treat inside the crate and shut its gate in front of your dog. If a dog sees something in the crate that they want, they will desire to enter it. Once in the crate, let them know they did a good job by praising them.
Don't play tug of war with your puppy. These games often encourage a puppy to start biting. Once your puppy is older and well trained, you can play rough games.
Dogs can have a one-track mind and remain focused on one thing until you break the dog out of it. Repetition and practice will result in your dog waiting to take cues from you rather than being distracted by other things.
Dogs will learn best by repetition and rewards. You must thoroughly show the dog what it is to do at first, and then develop a routine and reward that the dog practices daily. This is the most effective way to modify a dog's behavior or teach him a trick. Repetition with rewards is the only way to properly train a dog.
Maintain consistency when dog training. A list of directives should be available to anyone who may give instructions to your dog at some time. It is also recommended that everyone use the same positive reinforcements for good behavior and negative response when the dog is disobedient. When the dog gets inconsistent rewards, training becomes more difficult as the dog gets confused.
Getting a handle on your dog's taste preferences can make your training program more effective. It is easier to motivate a dog if the reward being offered is something they really enjoy. Try a variety of treats and pay close attention to your pet's responses to narrow in on his favorite.
The majority of reported dog bites were brought about by fear. This happens when a dog feels frightened, threatened, and trapped. Dogs cannot be trained through force. If you do this, you may get bitten. This builds trust in the dog, and he will see you as his faithful master.
If you are irritated or annoyed about something else, do not start a training session. You need to have patience with your dog, or they may lose their patience, and once that happens, their focus on training may fade.
A lot of pet owners are pleasantly surprised how canine behavior training can fit seamlessly into their lives and just how soon they can see positive effects. If your dog is getting on your nerves, it's time to put the above tips to use.
