Essential Canine Training Tools - Make Canine Training Much Easier

You know that bringing home a new young dog is
going to require a serious commitment to dog
training, but what do you need to conduct that
training? You'll identify a variety of methods
that you can learn to train your canine, but
there are some accessories that can make any
training method much easier to enforce in the
home.

Five tools that you should find useful while
training a dog include a dog crate, a leash and
harness, a durable chew toy, and a baby gate.
The dog crate can be a bit expensive, but it
cannot be overlooked.

You will use the crate and the baby gate (or
multiple baby gates) to limit the access your
new dog has to your home. You do want your dog
to eventually have the free run of your home as
a member of your family, but dog training will
teach you the importance of introducing your
canine to the home in smaller bites.

This is especially true with puppies, who can be
overwhelmed with a large home. Allowing a dog to
slowly earn access to new parts of your home
will help reinforce what you are trying to teach
them through training.

For example, take one a room of your home and
place your dog crate in it. Block the doorway
with a baby gate so the dog can see the rest of
your home and doesn't feel locked away with the
door shut. Keep your new dog in this room while
they are being potty trained. If they have an
accident, it is just in this one room.

The crate should be big enough for them to stand
up and turn around in, but not any larger or they
will use the restroom in it. Once the canine is
showing progress with potty training, they can
earn the right to access the next room in the
home.

A leash is essential when dog training. You will
use the leash to teach your dog to walk beside
you, instead of pulling you down the street. You
can also use a collar or harness to attach the
dog to your waist while you move throughout your
home. This keeps them close while allowing them
to see the rest of their new home, without
running wild. They must earn the right to run
free.

Finally, the chew toy is used to encourage a
puppy to chew a toy rather than your furniture.
Puppies will chew on anything they can get a
hold of, and some older dogs still enjoy
chewing. Dog training on this matter should
start the moment the dog comes into your home.

Some breeds pick up on dog training easier than
others, so be patient with your new dog. With
the right tools, they will become a member of
the family in no time.
