How You Can Train A Dog

When you buy a new dog, you face some significant
challenges, particularly in the area of training.
Learning how to train a dog can be difficult, but
not impossible. There are a few habits a new dog
seems to have formed, but you can be rest
assured that they are simply instinct and NOT
habits. These are instincts that can be taken
care of early on if you just take the
initiative, though you should learn what some of
these detrimental 'instincts' are before you
start training.

The first thing on the list when learning how to
train a dog has to do with pottying, and this
refers to the dog urinating or even defecating
in the house. If you want to stop the urination,
it is important to take the dog outside every
half hour to begin with. Each time your dog
urinates outdoors, provide a treat and praise
profusely. Eventually the animal will learn it
is only acceptable to pee outdoors, thereby
saving your carpet.

Pooping can be an entirely different story.
There are more than a few dogs out therethat are
'poop shy' and will only do it out of your sight.
In addition to that, most dogs do not understand
the correlation between peeing and pooping,
which means they may believe one is acceptable
in the house while the other is not. If you are
having issues with feces, it could be in your
best interest to tether the dog outside where
you will not be watching.

Barking and jumping are yet another serious
problem. Unless you want the dog jumping on your
head every two seconds, you would do well to curb
that behavior immediately. It might seem cruel,
but having a spray bottle containing water would
be within your best interest. Each time the dog
attempts to jump on you either on the couch, in
your recliner, or at the dinner table, deliver a
volley of water and tell the dog "NO".

Another major issue with learning how to train a
dog is the dog begging at the table. Oftentimes
there is nothing more annoying than attempting
to eat your meal and having your furry friend
begging at your feet, or if it is a small dog,
jumping into your lap. This is another spot that
the magic spray bottle might come in handy, but
when you ask a professional how to train a dog
to stay away from the table, their response
would be to cage it.

You may be one who is opposed to crating your
dog, but it can actually do some good. There are
plenty of crates available in all different
shapes and sizes at your pet store. Make sure
you choose one that fits your dog well. If you
have a smaller dog, you can feel free to
purchase a larger crate to provide more room,
though you should not buy a smaller crate for a
larger dog -- even if they will fit.

There are many different aspects to consider
when it comes to training a dog, and you will
discover this as you go along. The biggest
problems you will run into are likely not ON
this list, and you will need to learn as you go
along.

Despite the obvious complications you will run
into learning how to train a dog, a dog is a
great companion, and once you work out the
kinks, you will find that your dogs are not only
easy to deal with, they are actually a pleasure.
Start the training process today and enjoy your
best friend tomorrow.
