Many dogs end up in shelters because they don't turn out the way their owners hoped they would, but this can often be avoided. A well-trained pooch can be a welcome addition to any family. It's not difficult to train your dog once you know how. Use the tips below to get started.
Dogs will focus on something and ignore all else unless something breaks that attention. If you are consistent and use repetition, your dog will start to wait for your signals before focusing on something.
Whenever your dog improves in his training, allow him some extra freedom. It is important that you reach a balance between freedom and obedience in order to establish a satisfying relationship. Don't be too lenient all of the sudden though, as this can have a negative effect.
Anytime your dog does something good, make sure you reward him. You want to teach your pooch that good behavior is beneficial. This can establish right from wrong quickly and efficiently.
Start with the easy stuff. This will be great for immediate gratification, and your dog will begin to understand what you expect along the way. You'll have better results this way.
Avoid letting your dog have accidents when potty training. Look for signs that your dog needs to go outside. They might walk back and forth or whine. Don't put it off when your dog is doing these things. Take your dog out on the leash and take them to where you want them to go to the bathroom. Praise him for appropriate toileting. Over time, he is going to learn to try to get outside to go.
Overworking a new puppy with new information will only lead to trouble. Puppies have short attention spans, therefore keep your sessions short and provide ample amounts of praise. If you try to rush and throw in too much information, your puppy will not remember the lesson and you'll have a harder time training him.
Use your dog's name when you can, as it will help to get your dog to pay attention. Early in your dog ownership, you should use your dog's name several times a day, so he starts to understand that you want his attention. Give your dog a relatively short name, preferably one that isn't likely to be confused with other words.
If you're leash-training a puppy, the initial step needs to be putting a collar on them when you play with them. By making your puppy comfortable to wearing a leash, he will be more apt to keep it on.
To conclude, it's vital that you train your dog right. A well-behaved pet is less likely to injure himself and will also help you avoid the cost and frustration of household repairs. When you apply the ideas you've just read, you are taking yourself one step closer to training your dog properly.
