How To Effectively And Efficiently Train Your Dog

Training your dog is part of responsible ownership. From basic obedience to advanced techniques, proper socialization and instruction is not only necessary to have your dog be a good canine citizen, but it will help keep your dog safe and happy. Here is some advice on how successfully train your dog and find a trainer.

Verbal corrections must be sharp and direct. Don’t rant on to the dog about the thinks that he did wrong. Simply address the issue and move on. Be sure your command tone of voice gets their attention and shows that you’re serious.

You need to reward your dog to be successful. Reward your dog with some treats right after they obey an order. By giving treats at the proper time, you’ll ensure that your dog understands which behavior it’s being rewarded for.

Be patient when teaching your dog, it will take some time. It will take up to 50 repetitions to learn a new command. Keep trying the same commands until your dog remembers it for good.

Whenever the dog jumps upon you, grab its paws and give them a soft squeeze so they know it is not okay to jump on humans. This will not hurt your dog if done lightly, but it will impart the information that jumping up is not appropriate. They should learn to stop jumping because they don’t like the reaction they get.

You do not want to over-stress your new pup by trying to teach him too much too quickly. A puppy only has short bursts of energy and doesn’t have a long attention; you’ve got to keep your training sessions positive and short. If your training sessions stress your puppy, he will grow increasingly less attentive in future sessions.

Every dog owner wants to help their pet become a well-adjusted member of the family and eliminate unsavory behavior like chewing and scratching on the furniture. That prevents the dog from becoming ill, and you save frustration and money. Use the advice in this piece and you will have what it takes to curtail excessive chewing.
