Teach Your Dog How To Do Anything

The easiest way to teach your dog to do anything
you want is to use one of his strongest
instincts of all which is eating. We all know
that dogs love to eat. You can use this strong
instinct in your pet in order to teach him or
her virtually any trick or activity you wish.
What we are talking about here is using dog
treats to bribe the animal and to reward the
animal for doing exactly what we want.

One of the dogs favorite treats is anything
related to cheese. You may not know it, but
every dog is a lover of those crunchy cheese
puff snacks you can buy in any grocery store.
These are quite handy to use for dog training
since they are small and bite-size and dogs
adore the taste. There is no need to buy the
expensive kind of cheese puffs; dogs enjoy even
the cheapest brands of all.

Let's say you have an outside dog who you are
having trouble with in getting them to enter
their dog pen on their own. The way to begin
using the cheese pups to entice the animal and
train him or her to enter the pen on his or her
own is quite simple in fact. To begin with,
simply take a handful of cheese puffs and walk
into the pen yourself and show the animal the
treats in your hand.

As the dog will eventually follow you into the
pen to retrieve a treat, simply give him one of
the treats and walk out of the pen. Picture dog
and play with him for a little while and then
enter the pen again and repeat the process of
offering him a treat. Eventually the dog will
easily go into the pen after a treat.

Your next step will be getting the dog to enter
without you having to. Bring the dog inside
again and this time except the pen and feed him
or her a treat through the fence to the side of
the gate. Do this several times in the first
day. And then repeat the entire process for the
next couple of days without any stress or trials
or tribulations for the animal to face. It should
all be a happy time for the both of you giving
him lots of praise and treats in the process.

Always feed the animal through the fence in the
latter steps at the same spot each time.
Eventually, all you will have to do is stand
outside the fence and hold a treat with your
fingers on the inside where you have always fed
the animal. The dog will learn to walk into the
pen and retrieve the treat. In the beginning, do
not shut the dog in the pen during this process
that should go on for two or three or four days.

Eventually it will be a simple matter to simply
walk to the pen with a treat, hold the tree
inside the fence with the gate open, and the dog
will enter gladly to retrieve the treat and then
you can close the gate. Once you do this often
enough, it's not even necessary to take a treat
to the pen every time.
