Dog Training Is Easy When You Use These Ideas

Training your dog can be an important part of
your life long relationship with your dog. It
can also be a bonding experience with your dog
that can be beneficial to both of you. This
article can help you see all of the benefits
that dog training can bring to your
relationship.

When training your dog, take some time to think
about how your dog sees the world. Learning to
see the world from your dog's perspective helps
you understand your dog better so you can train
more effectively. Getting in your dog's head may
seem like hocus pocus, but it really helps you
train more effectively.

When training your dog, remember to be patient.
This will prevent both you and your dog from
getting angry and frustrated with the training
process. Remember that your dog really does want
to please you, but sometimes he gets confused
because he speaks a different language and
cannot understand what you are asking.

When properly training your dog, you should
never use food as the sole source of control
over a particular type of behavior. Food is a
necessity that dogs must have in order to
survive, so they need other sources of rewards.
In addition to giving good, you should pet your
dog and give it praise.

Set your dog up to succeed for the end of a
session. End all of your training sessions with
a command that you know that he can do and
reward him for his effort. You don't want him to
come away depressed about training time, but you
also don't want to reward him if he was not
responding well during the session. Giving him a
task or command that you know he can do allows
you to reward him without confusing him.

If your dog tends to chew on your shoes or other
household items, you can stop this behavior by
giving the dog a yummy substitute, such as a raw
hide bone, to chew. The dog will likely abandon
your shoes in favor of the raw hide, as the only
reason he or she is chewing your shoes is that he
or she is bored and needs something to do.

If you have a dog that is driving you crazy with
barking, the first step in stopping the barking
is to determine the cause. For example, a
territorial bark at 2 PM every day, might be
related to the mailman's arrival. If you know
the cause of the barking, you can intercept it
and help deal with the problem.

Being a proactive pet owner is the first step in
training your pooch. An owner who anticipates
troublesome situations for their dog, and works
to keep him away from those situations whenever
possible, will have a better behaved animal.
Extensive training will not be as necessary if
you get to know your dog so you can anticipate
his actions.

With the information you learned in this article
you should now have knowledge that you can use
towards training your dog to the best of your
ability. When you use what you've just learned
to the best of your ability then you should be
well on your way towards having an obedient dog.
