Dog Training Tips For The New Dog Trainer

Every dog needs to be trained to behave how you would have it behave. The potential is there, but it’s your job to suss it out. The potential is already within your dog, you just have to use the tips below to bring it out.

Make it clear to your dog that their crate is their home. Feed them in their crate and keep it open for them to come in and out. The crate will then become associated with the food they love.

When correcting your dog verbally, use sharp, short, concise commands. It’s not good to rant about how bad your dog is. Just tell them no, and point them in the desired direction. Also speak with authority so they understand you mean business.

It takes many repetitions before a dog is able to learn new commands. You might have to keep repeating something to a dog as much as fifty times for it to ‘click’. Keep teaching it and be patient. The dog will learn in time.

With the right encouragement, most dogs can learn to roll over pretty quickly. First, have your pet to lay down. Now, with a treat in your palm, move your hand from one side of the dog’s face to the other. He should then roll over while following the treat. Say the command, “roll over” when he rolls over. It will probably take multiple attempts, but you will be the talk of the town when the trick is learned.

Give your puppy with lots of chewable toys, otherwise he might alleviate his teething pain on your nice furniture. Give the dog one of its own chew toys right away. Puppies sometimes chew objects while going through their teething phase. A wet cloth that has been frozen is perfect for them during this time.

Once you can bring out a dog’s ability to be trained, it is just a matter of consistently practicing the techniques. A well-trained pooch is a wonderful addition to any family, and your soon-to-be-trained dog is soon to be a joy to have around the house.
