Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Dog Training- Show Your Puppy or Dog Who is the Boss

Dog training is an important area for the well
being of your dog and yourself. The first thing
that you have to decide is to what level you wish
your dog to be trained. There are several
thoughts around dog training but the best thing
to do is to have a pet that is good within your
life and is a sociable dog around other pets and
people. All dogs need to know where they fit into
your world. With this in mind the dog has to know
that you are in command. Puppies need to learn
good manners too. It can be easy to spoil a
puppy, which then becomes a very difficult adult
dog.

To start at the basics for your dog's training.
Coming when called, sitting, and being sociable.
To teach your puppy its name, call the puppy in a
friendly way and when the dog looks at you or
comes over give lots of praise. Small training
treats can be used, but if the dog likes a
squeaky toy use this as a reward. Rewards help
the puppy to train quickly.

This same technique can be used for the "come
here" command; this can then be a game that you
play with your dog. It builds up what the dog is
expected to do, and when. A word of warning here,
do not expect a fully trained puppy too soon. Do
a lot of your training in a safe fenced off area,
your garden or a small secure park area works
well. If your dog doesn't come back or runs away
from you, you need a safe place where they cannot
get hurt or wander off too far.

Do not shout, smack, or scold your puppy for not
coming back when called as this sends the puppy
the wrong message, and they may be frightened to
return to you next time, if they get a negative
feed back. Try calling a few times, and if they
don't return to you, you go over and collect
them, no treat on this occasion putting the lead
back on the puppy.

Keep trying with a long lead on your dog if you
need to and build up their understanding of what
you wish them to do. Keep consistent, whether
you're in the home, out with friend or family, or
walking in the park.

To train your dog to sit is easier and the dog
soon learns what you want. Holding the treat just
over the dogs head, say "sit", while moving the
treat away from you over the dogs head. The dog
will follow the treat encouraging them to
naturally sit. When they have sat, praise the dog
and give the treat. Repeat. Soon the dog will
understand the word and be able to sit as you say
so.

There are some great dog training schools that
also do socializing with other dogs, this helps
with getting the dog to see and behave with other
dogs. Another way to help with this is when you
are out walking your dog ask other dog owners if
they would mind your dog getting to know their
dog. Little and often with consistency seems to
be the best way to train your dog.
