Dog Training Tips

Dog training may be frustrating, as there are many problems to be faced. Your dog may not listen to you, and you may even not know what to do. Here are some useful tips:

1) Always use the same command. 'Come' is recommended by many because it is simple to use and is unlike any other command word. Remember your dog will not understand 'get over here' if you usually say 'come'.

2) Never scold or punish your dog. Dogs have few cognitive reasoning skills, if any. This means that hitting or yelling at your dog will most likely result in confusion for your pet and not correction. So even if you are frustrated, don't ever hit, smack, or abuse your pet either physically or verbally.

3) Train your dog on a consistent schedule, as they would respond more positively. When they know you better, they would recognize training time and begin to like it. Therefore, it is best to keep a schedule instead of doing it in irregularly.

4) Your body language is important too. A dog stands stiff legged and looks into the eyes of another dog to be aggressive and threatening. You will find it much more effective to crouch or bend, slap your legs and don't make eye contact. Keep your voice high pitched and cheerful. Your dog may come to you without you giving the command word when you adopt this position.

5) Finally, an adult dog that doesn't come on command has already learnt that the command word is meaningless. It is much easier to choose a different word than to try and correct a corrupted one. Choose 'here', 'to me' or any other simple word that you fancy!

It's no secret that it takes awhile for your dog to get completely crate trained. Dog house training tip successfully means making the commitment to keep control of your puppy even during the night time. This means lugging that hard plastic or wire cage crate into your bedroom at night.

Just a final word, I highly recommend “Dog Obedience Training Secrets to STOP Your Dog’s Behavior Problems!” by Daniel Stevens. It just costs a mere $26.14 and has a lot of information about dog training. It has a very high popularity rate and many people have succeeded after reading it. It is really worth the price.
