Many people think it impossible to train dogs. It might be because you weren’t taught how. To train your dog successfully, you need to understand the basic principles of dog training. Read through this article to learn many helpful training strategies and ideas.
Rewarding your dog generously and properly is essential in training your dog. If you give your dog some treats at the proper time, they will respond to training. Unless you administer praise and treats as soon as the dog exhibits the desired behavior, he will not be able to connect the behavior to the treat.
The first step of training your pooch should be to assert your control. Otherwise, the dog will think that he is in charge and will not respond to your training tactics. For example, when you walk your dog you must be in front and you should insist your dog follows behind you.
Training your dog to start rolling over is easy, but be sure to have some treats. Start by commanding the animal to lie down. Then, hold the treat over your dog’s head and swipe it above and around his head, causing him to roll over. He should roll his body over while following the treat. Say the command, “roll over” when he rolls over. Don’t get frustrated if it takes a few tries, once he learns this trick he’ll be the star of the dog park!
When training your dog, remember to be patient. This will reduce anger, stress and tension when you train your dog. Keep in mind that they wish to please you; however, they get confused because they can’t understand your language.
Start with the easy stuff. You will both get instant gratification and establish a good foundation which you and your dog can build on. This will give you much better results while training.
Training your dog is essential to develop a good relationship. Use the advice you’ve read to start training your dog properly.
