Review Of Dog Training Guides
We have all seen a dog owner with their dog and they are constanly trying, and failing, to control the dog. The owner is embarassed and the dog is a nuisance to everybody else around.
Having decided that you want to have a well trained dog you can choose to either get somebody to train your dog for you or you can do your own dog training. Working with your dog yourself will create a terrific relationship between you and your dog.
An alternative to training your dog yourself would be to take your dog along to some local dog training classes and these can be a helpful addition to your own training but you will be committed to regularly turning up for the class and this may be difficult to fit in with your lifestyle.
The first rule of dog training is that you should always praise your dog when he does well. If he has responded well to your instructions then you should congratulate him and tell him what a good boy he has been.
When you demonstrate to your dog how pleased with him, you are by telling him what a good boy he is and patting him and having fun with him it makes him happy. He will remember how happy he felt when he did things right and will try extra hard next time to do everything just right.
Having a pocket full of dog treats can help with your dog training. When your dog has done what you commanded particularly well give him a dog treat as an extra bonus for doing so well. He will remember and learn that by trying really hard to do as required he might earn an extra treat.
Avoid hitting or yelling at your dog as this is counter productive because all it does is confuse and upset him. Praise when he does well and just remain calm and quiet when things don’t go so well. Be gentle yet firm. Speak gently when you issue a command but do it in firm way. You must show him you are the boss but always show him your affection.
Short regular training sessions will be much more productive than occasional long and tiring lessons. Try to have a short training lesson each day and just focus on one command or action. Keeping your dog alert and happy will help him to learn much faster.
