You care about your dog, but you also like your house. That said, your dog doesn't feel the same way. Read on to find out how to train your dog so your life can be less stressful.
Dogs will focus on something and ignore all else unless something breaks that attention. If you are consistent and use repetition, your dog will start to wait for your signals before focusing on something.
Anytime your dog does something good, make sure you reward him. 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. Doing so leaves no question as to whether a behavior is considered acceptable or strictly forbidden.
Be prepared to reward the dog as soon as it completes a positive behavior. 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. Rewarding good behavior and not bad behavior will help your dog to learn the difference between the two.
Be patient when training a dog. This will cause you not to be frustrated and angry with your dog during this process. Bear in mind that your dog wants nothing more than to please you; however, your language is somewhat confusing to him.
Avoid letting your dog have accidents when potty training. Look for signs that your dog needs to go outside. They might walk back and forth or whine. Don't put it off when your dog is doing these things. Take your dog out on the leash and take them to where you want them to go to the bathroom. Praise him for appropriate toileting. Over time, he is going to learn to try to get outside to go.
Primary reinforcement is key during training your dog. Primary reinforcement uses the things that your dog loves as rewards for positive behavior. Primary reinforcement could be treats or giving your dog a belly rub. Your dog will learn well from this.
Be aware of the other dogs when taking yours for a walk. You have no idea how well trained the other dog is. Keep your dog at a distance from angry or aggressive dogs.
You should make training fun for both you and your dog. Keep the sessions between 10-15 minutes, as this is about the attention span of most dogs. Reward your dog generously, when warranted. The more you reward your dog the more he will continue the positive behavior. When you take a more positive approach to discipline, the process becomes far more enjoyable.
To conclude, it's vital that you train your dog right. A well-behaved pet is less likely to injure himself and will also help you avoid the cost and frustration of household repairs. When you apply the ideas you've just read, you are taking yourself one step closer to training your dog properly.
