My Favorite Dog Training Tips
Margareta Setijoso
A few sources echo similar techniques that ensure success when training your dog. After scouring the web and throughly researched the issue, I have tried many tips and found a few that actually yield results.
Always reward good behavior. It may seem obvious however, many pet owners find themselves unconditionally pleased with their pet. For instance it may be easy to notice a behavior such as laying down and rolling over as adorable and reward the animal with attention and positive feedback. Other situations it may be less obvious that your dog is actually carrying out desired behavior. When potty training, after a long day when your dog eliminates outside for instance, make sure you do not abandon the dog at this time, remind it that it is doing the right thing verbally.
Never reward undesired behavior. A dog will learn with consistency and love. Don't fall for cute tricks. Only encourage desired behaviors. Follow through with commands. If you instruct your dog to do something, make certain that it does. In other words, do not give commands that you are unwilling to take the time to enforce. Follow through with your instructions even if you have to physically, gently of course, place the dog in what ever position you stated. If this is consistent your dog will learn much more quickly and be obeying you in no time.
Proper exercise. When given a chance to expend energy and the freedom to walk or run your dog will behave much differently in the home. This is crucial to a having a healthy pet as it is a fundamental need of the animal. Although dogs are domesticated they still flourish when outdoors.
Avoid double commands. Do not instruct two things at one time. It is beneficial to your dog to be able to follow through with a command and then be rewarded. Multiple commands are fine as long as they do not overlap.
These are just a few of my favorite dog training tips. Ever since I started I've noticed a world of difference. They are simple, to the point, and effective..
