How To Show Your Dog Who’s Boss
Unacceptable behavior in dogs, such as aggression, barking, growling and various others, can be corrected through proper training. This article will help you to stop excessive barking, unwarranted growling and overall rowdiness. Puppy training can turn a dog into an ideal pet.
Establish a quiet environment when you go into a room your pet is in. It’s always great to to be playful and upbeat, but a calm environment is ideal when you first enter a room. Don’t acknowledge your dog until you decide. This will establish a controlled atmosphere.
Consistency is key when working on crate training with a young dog. When you allow the puppy to come out of the crate, you have to immediately and without fail give him the chance to relieve his bladder. Over time, the puppy will be able to wait until the appropriate opportunity to answer the call of nature.
You will have to repeat commands several times before your dog learns it. You might have to keep repeating something to a dog as much as fifty times for it to ‘click’. Firmly and steadily repeat the command. Remain patient and eventually the command will be learned.
Always have a treat for rewarding your dog. You want your dog to recognize that when you give it a command and it does the task, it is doing what you want it to do. This can establish right from wrong quickly and efficiently.
Training Sessions
Maintain brief training sessions. Dogs can’t concentrate for long periods of time, so long training sessions are pointless. If you do have long training sessions, break it up so your dog can rest a little bit.
Primary reinforcement is something that you can implement in your training sessions. Primary reinforcement uses something that is inherent for the dog to love as a reward for good behavior. This can be a belly rub, a favorite toy or a tasty treat. The best rewards are things your dog already likes and wants.
Create a specific command to stop your dog when it barks. When your dog barks, show them a treat and repeat the order, for instance, ‘be quiet’ until it stops barking. Give them a treat. By consistently repeating this, your dog will be quiet because he wants the treat.
As this article has hopefully shown you, training your puppy or dog doesn’t have to be the stuff of nightmares. If the owner has the right mindset and good knowledge, they should be able to train a dog with no problem. The right training can help every dog thrive and be well behaved.
