By Carol Bell


Have you got a pet dog and thought about getting him into dog obedience behavior training? You are wrong if you think it is a intimidating task to get on with because contrary to what many people would say, the training itself is no rocket science and easy to administer. Some people even do it on their own, you could to. All it will take is a little time and effort on your part, this will not only train your dog books will also heighten your bonding with your pet.

To make things easier for you, here is a quick guide to dog obedience behavior training. It doesn't matter what type of dog you have as this training helps with all dog breeds. Your efforts will pay off dramatically if you know the basic principles and put them into practice.

Consistency is one important thing to take note of during the entire training process, especially when you want to correct the bad behavior exhibited by your dog. your dog will learn the tasks that you want it to perform if you use the same commands, this is where consistency will help.. Using different commandments for the same task can be very confusing for your dog so try to avoid this mistake. Also, establish house rules that your dog will fully be aware of. Soon you will see that he will do as you say without difficulty.

Timing is indeed critical. Any success with your doctrine in is determined by your timing. A good practice would be to give praise to your dog whenever he or she has done something right, remember you must reprimand him or her if your commands are not obaid. This will let him understand those behaviors that you like and dislike. You can't reprimand your dog in a couple of ways. Correcting any mistakes your dog makes is one off the first thing you must do. If your dog does something wrong very wrong, ignore him, this would be the second thing you would need to do. This will let him know that his behavior is unacceptable.

Like humans, dogs also seek attention and they love it. The only problem is that they are somewhat incapable of discerning which the positive is and which one is the negative attention. What they understand is that when they are able to elicit reaction and attention from people, they will do the same things repeatedly.

As the owner, you should not yield to your dog when he is exhibiting bad behavior. It's very easy to give in to your dog especially with those wide and solemn looking eyes, don't give in to their groans. When you do so, he will think that it is positive attention and is sure to repeat the same behavior. So, what you must do is to only direct your attention to him whenever he behaves properly. Give him treats as the prize for good behavior.

It is important that you set your mind on the task. Dog obedience behavior training requires too much patience so it is best to have that frame of mind. Never ever proceed with the training sessions when you are drugged, drunk, or in a bad mood. Dog obedience is a training that your pet must undergo.
