Dog training requires simple persistence to be a successful and delightful experience for you and your dog.
Here are 8 dog training tips to guide you along the way.
1. Get your dog’s attention.
Before you can start training your dog, you first need to get its attention. You can do this by talking and offering him a small treat.
2. Use the correct dog training supplies.
If you have a well-behaved dog, a six-foot training lead and a regular buckle collar will do. However, if your dog is uncontrollable, you should use a training collar. For the right collar size, measure the dogs’ neck and add 2 inches.
3. For safety in vehicles.
Before you introduce your dog to the inside of a moving vehicle, you should teach him the ‘down!’ and ‘stay!’ commands. This ensures that he spends the ride on the floor of the vehicle.
4. Elimination
When your dog got to go, it got to go. To prevent your dog from getting busy on the carpet, you should train him to eliminate on command.
5. Praise
Always praise your dog when he learns a new command.
6. Reprimand
Do not hit your dog! Any time your dog is engaging in bad behavior, use the opportunity to teach him the ‘stop!’ or ‘no!’ command. Using the ‘stay!’ command can also be effective in these situations.
7. Play with your dog
This will help in building the bond between you and your dog.
8. Do some dog training everyday
Don’t rush dog training. Teach your dog one command at a time, and don’t move on until he gets it. A little dog training every day is all that’s needed.
Well, that’s it for my dog training tips. Enjoy training your dog, and remember that it takes simple persistence.
