Your First Dog Training Guide

By Martin Elmer

It can be an overwhelming experience to have a dog in your house for the first time. It needs care and attention, but it does also have to learn to behave. So training is an important part of your dogs life.

It looks so simple, when experienced dog trainers trains dogs. But you will probably find even the simplest methods to be difficult in practice. But before you give up, you must remember that a dog try to please its owner. So spend a lot of time with your dog. Then it will both love and obey you.

You should start to train you dog, when it is between 3 and 16 weeks. The bonds between it and you will start to take hold. So the future training will be much easier, if you earn its respect there.

Commands are the first to learn in dog training. But it is not as simple as the experienced dog trainer can make it look. Your dog will probably not obey your commands, when you are trrying the same.

The success lies in the tone of the voice. It may seem like the experienced dog trainers know a secret dog language. But actually they do just know how the tone of the voice can make the dog obey. And if you practice a lot, you can learn the same.

The right command tone is firm but non-threatening. To make the dog obey you, you much establish a relationship between you and the dog, where you are the master. If you miss that, you will not be able to train your dog. And threatening or yelling will not help you. It will just make your dog fear you.

The best way to train a dog is by praising it, when it has done something right. Even though it can distinguish between right and wrong, you have to learn it the difference. And you do that by giving it proper feedback when training.

So by using the tone of your voice to show it, when it has done something right or wrong, you can learn it to distinguish between what is good behavior; and what is not. Again remember that the dog will try to please the owner, the dog will learn to everything it can to follow your instructions.

The tone of the voice is the first thing you have to focus at as a dog training beginner. When you have learned that, you can start to use more complicated training methods.

And a final advice; all dogs have different temperament and intelligence. So what might work on one dog, is not always working on other dogs. So find the methods that work with your dog.
