Dog Training And What You Need To Know

By Adrianna Noton


A dog is considered mans best friend, but one that does not listen is no ones friend. As dogs get older the chances of them listening gets smaller and smaller. This is why dog training should be a very big part of your pets life very early. Here are some things you should know about dog training that will help you and that new pet work together as one.

Early prevention is something many dog owners forget about when they get their pets. By starting early your pet will learn the things they need. The longer that you wait to start dog training the harder it becomes to break bad habits. Start as early as possible if you want a pet that will listen to you. Most people do not realize how important the reward system is.

Just as we like to be rewarded for doing well so do our pets. Dogs love to make their masters happy and when they do you should always reward them. Do not award them if they exhibit bad behavior as it will reverse what you actually are trying to get done with your dog training.

Energy is something pets may have a lot sometimes. If your dog is locked in your home or apartment be prepared for all the energy they may have. They will need to release it and there are several ways to get this done. Take them to the park or on long walks and incorporate training along the way. It will also give you some time to bond with your animal as well.

Schedule your workouts with your pet on a regular basis. By having a set schedule your pet will actually look forward to those training sessions. Intermittent training is something you should avoid at all costs. Consistency is the key when it comes to dog training if you want to see success.

Try to stay with one trainer only. Even though others may want to help with the training of your pets try to have one trainer only. The more you have the more confusion the dog could encounter. Dogs also are more receptive to one person than a bunch of people trying to train them.

Screaming, yelling, or beating a dog is something that should never be done. Sometimes we may lose our cool, but these are things you never want to do to your pet. This will just set your training back and make the process of dog training that much longer.

Force free training Newmarket takes time and it does not happen overnight no matter what people tell you. Every dog will learn at their own pace. Do not try and force your pet to do more than they can. If you continue to work on a daily basis you will see results in no time at all.
