Improving Undesirable Behavior Through Australian Cattle Dog Training

By Evelyn White


A clean home can be hard to have with an untrained dog. But there still are many who are unaware of how to properly train a dog and they really must gain as much understanding regarding training as possible to prevent and get rid of poor behaviors. This post aims to help dog owners remedy their problem and achieve successful Australian Cattle dog training.

Once you see your furry friend exhibiting improper behaviors, make sure to discourage the behavior right away. Begin by saying "No" in firm tone of voice. Never shout and do not use an object or your hand to strike your pet dog. Dissuade improper action as soon as it happens. Dogs can't remember much for very long. Therefore if you discipline your pet dog hours after the mistake is performed, it will only confuse him rather than make him realize his mistake.

When you are working with barking problem, consider creating a "safe space" for your pooch to inhabit when a guest comes over. This can help nervous dogs by giving them a small area of their own and also keeps them relaxed during an otherwise interesting time. After introducing the space and training the dog to go to it, enhance this behavior with new guests around.

If you're tired of your dog pulling on leash while walking along with you, here is a simple training technique. Take your leashed dog to an outside place that's common to you both - such as the back garden - then set out to walk. If your canine pet stays alongside you, right at your thigh, reward him with a treat. If the animal rushes ahead, quit walking. If he wanders off for reasons unknown, say "let's go" in an upbeat manner and turn and walk a different way. When he catches up with you, give him a treat and if he doesn't catch up, pull gently on the leash until he understands the point. This way, you reward appropriate behavior and don't have to be unduly harsh for bad behavior.

If you are trying to train a dog that seems unresponsive and even aggressive, determine that the dog's basic needs have been met. A dog that is not getting enough attention, for example, will be grumpy and not respond well to training. And of course a hungry dog will be unlikely to respond as well. So before Australian Cattle dog training begins, see to it that your canine companion is healthy and happy.
