Useful Dog Training Suggestions

By Hazel Knox


Despite what it seems to be from a distance, dog training doesn't need you to be a fearless Hercules, all it asks of you is to keep a few basics in mind. First, set up who the boss is, remind your dog again and again that you are the one on two ft while he is still on all fours, and thus what you say is Gospel and what he barks isn't. Second, communicate in a tone which oozes superiority, something on the lines of your first grade math teacher. Third, routine is every thing so keep your training techniques consistent. As soon as you master these three techniques you will be the master of each and every dog around!

Your heart might melt into a mush every time your cute little pup cocks his head, but do not let that get in the way of your establishing who the master is. Go gooey eyed too frequently and you are likely to pay with your carpets and sandals, which it will most merrily chew through. Treat your dog the way you would treat a little child, setting it rigid boundaries and letting it know what goes and what most certainly doesn't. Set up gestures like pointing etc. which will give the dog a cue to act in a certain way.

You might not think it possible yet dogs, like your kids, can tell when you mean business, slacken up a little with them and they'll know you can be taken for a trip. Interestingly enough they also have this instinct for intonation; be rigid when you want him to stay put at the yard, but be enthusiastic when you are asking him if he would like to go for a stroll. It's funny how you will see your own mood reflected in his reactions. This is the primary step for you to establish the kind of communication with your dog which will permit you to calm him or set him up for work with a single word.

One of the primary methods of training your dog is to keep a particular uniformity in your approach towards him. Keep your intonations, gestures and words for expressing discontentment the same every time, to ensure that he gets used to the idea easily. A young puppy who grows up with a certain set of instructions will respond to them more quickly than one who's often confused by conflicting orders. The more consistent your commands are, the better trained your dog is, the better trained your dog is the greater your confidence in him concerning his obedience to you. A few other methods of building consistency are to make use of the same door when taking your doggy out for a stroll, give him the same type of pat every night prior to retiring for your day, so that he knows exactly what time it's.

Little things like these will help you forecast your dog's conduct more accurately. Most importantly, however, remember to shower your love and affection on the little one, continue your training through little games which he may enjoy, and make sure to treat him every time he does a task well, after all like a child it too needs to be valued and given its bit of fun.
