Simple Tips And Tricks To Help You Train Your Dog

A lot of people are trying to maintain a clean home these days, and a big part of maintaining

a clean home is to keep your dog properly trained. However, many people do not know how

to make their dogs behave. Start with this article, and you'll figure it all out.

Dog Training Strategies For Novice Dog Trainers

If you are training your pet, you need to get the whole family into it so that the dog listens to

everyone. It is important that everyone in your household is consistent with training cues.

Consistency during training will ensure your success.

Bad behavior must be called out in the moment. Tell your dog "No" in a firm voice. Never

scream and never use an object or your hand to strike your dog. Discourage bad behavior

when it occurs or soon after. Dogs don't remember things for a long time. If you wait, the dog

won't know why he's being scolded.

If you plan on housebreaking your pet, you must work hard to avoid any preventable

mistakes. Look for signs that your dog needs to go outside. Pacing, snuffing and whining are

common. Do not hesitate if you notice this behavior. Quickly leash your pet and lead him to

an area where he can relieve himself. Praise your dog when he does his business where he

is supposed to. Over time, he will be able to signal to you his need to relieve himself.

In order to reduce your dark's barking, have your dog get used to the things that are causing

them to bark. This can be things like sounds, smells, or proximity to other creatures. The dog

must learn that they do not need to start barking when these things occur.

Is your dog pulling on the leash? This is something that a lot of dog owners want to learn how

to break, and it is easy to do so. Consider buying a dog harness at a pet supply store to

make walks considerably more enjoyable.

Training lessons should be kept short. Since dogs do not have a long attention span, making

sure training sessions are kept short ensures that your dog will not dread them. If you want to

train more, make sure to include play breaks for your dog.

Know an older dog's limits. It will not be possible to train a dog that is older perfectly. They all

possess little quirks you should simply try to live with. A dog in his senior years may not be

as receptive to changes and new behaviors. You're likely to encounter some opposition, so

it's best to focus your training efforts on eliminating only the most problematic behaviors. The

rest should be negotiable.

It takes many repetitions before a dog is able to learn new commands. It may take as many

as fifty repetitions before your dog learns the command. Keep working patiently on the

command- he'll get it with time.
