Teaching Your Puppy From Your Home with Reliable Recommendations

By Miquel Tringali


Dogs have always been labeled as man's best friend, but anyone who actually owns a dog can tell you that they are not always easy to deal with. In fact, even the most well behaved dogs will develop bad behaviors if allowed to do so. Some dogs are naturally mild mannered, but others are a bit more rambunctious. The truth of the matter is, every dog needs training at some point.

Some pups love to dig holes in the yard or gnaw on their owner's favorite pair of shoes. Others will sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat the garbage. In other cases, dogs nip or growl at passing strangers or house guests. Unfortunately, some dogs never quite understand the concept of housebreaking. No matter what the problem is, every single dog can be trained to behave appropriately. Some will just take longer than others. Using simple, professional dog training tips is a great way to get started.

When we say 'professional dog training tips,' we don't actually mean hiring a professional. While that's not a bad option, it can be a costly venture. Some of the most trusted dog professionals have published ebooks or even have their own online dog training courses. This means you can get professional help for a fraction of the price. It also means you can work with your dog one-on-one from the comfort of your own home.

Finding a dog training ebook or course is not as difficult as you might think. Many wonderful programs can be found online. Just doing a simple search for 'dog training' will bring up thousands of results. It's only a matter of finding one that suits your needs. If you are looking for help for a specific problem, you will likely be able to find a book on that as well.

The most important dog training bit of advice you will ever get is to understand that your dog is never beyond training. Your own attitude and demeanor will greatly impact the results of the training program, so make sure that you go into the venture with a positive attitude. Stand your ground and never allow the dog's actions to make you angry or frustrated. This will negatively impact your efforts. The key is to understand why he or she is behaving the way they are. Once you can get into the mindset of your dog, things will become much easier. By remaining confident and acting as the leader of the pack, your dog will surely begin to understand their place as well.

Never conduct a training session with a bad attitude. Not only will your dog pick up on your negativity, but he or she will also be less inclined to listen to your commands. This will only lead to more frustration and anger. Be positive and make sure to reward your dog for a job well done. Each time they carry out a command, give them a treat and lots of praise. Eventually, your dog will understand that this behavior is good and even warrants a treat! At the end of the day, your dog truly does want to please you.

Another important thing to remember is that your dog wasn't always this way. Their bad behavior did not just happen overnight. In turn, changing their behavior won't be an overnight process either. Even if your dog doesn't turn out quite as you had imagined, through consist training sessions they will eventually become a better behaved dog. Just stay focused on the goal and continue your sessions everyday. You may be surprised just how quickly your dog does respond once you let your frustration go. As long as your training sessions are a positive experience for your dog, the resulting behavior can only be positive as well.
