Dog Training Tips

Dog training requires simple persistence to be a successful trainer. So how do you make it an enjoyable, happy and better experience for both you and your dog?

Hey Dog loving Friend,

How are you doing, thanks for your time.

Well, honestly you've just got to believe in yourself and that your dog trusts and accepts your commands. As I've already touched on this topic before in other articles, all-in-all it's about you and your dog's connection with conditioned responses.

Yes, you want to be able to get your dog's attention and have him conditioned to respond to your commands to the point where it becomes an automatic response.

Here are 8 dog training tips to guide you along the way:

1. Before you can start training your dog you first need to get its attention. You can do this by talking to him and offering him a small treat

2. If you've a well behaved dog, a six foot training lead and a regular buckle collar is great. If you dog is uncontrollable you should use a training collar (for the right collar size measure the dogs' neck and add 2 inches)

3. Before you introduce your dog to the inside of a moving vehicle you should teach him the "down" and "stay" commands. This ensures that he spends the ride on the floor of the vehicle

4. When your dog had got to go...by golly it had got to go. To prevent your dog from crapping on the carpet you should train him to eliminate "potty" on command.

5. Always praise your dog when he learns a new command

6. Never hit your dog. Any time your dog is engaging in bad behavior, use this opportunity to teach him the "stop" or "no" command. Using the "stay" command can also be effective in these situations.

7. Play with your dog this will help reinforce your bond, plus continue in building the trust and connection between you and your dog

8. Don't rush dog training, teach your dog one command at a time and don't move on until he "gets it". A little dog training everyday is all that's needed.

Do some dog training everyday, this is the exact same type of conditioning you should aim for when training your dog.

And this is why I suggest even after your dog understands a command, you continue to reinforce the connection by repeating the command, i.e., "come", "sit", "heel" "potty", "down" "stay"...etc and then give a tug on the line…up to a year after the initial training session.

Changing your voice tone is enough of a warning that he is doing something wrong.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate you.
