Minimizing Stress And Maximizing Results: How To Have A Successful Dog Training Program

Many people like to keep pets, especially dogs. Puppies are often very ornery and can cause a lot of damage. If you want to learn a few tip about training a dog, read on.

Always reward good, calm behavior. If the dog follows commands correctly, you should reward the animal only if it is calm. Though you may be happy with the accomplishment, excitement on your part leads to excitement on their part and diminishes control of the situation. If you are able to maintain your calm, you can expect your dog to maintain calm too.

Give your puppy some toys to chew on so they do not hurt while teething, keep other things they might want to chew on out of their reach! Take it away, and give him a chew toy. If your puppy needs to chew because he is teething, try a frozen washcloth.

If your pet is prone to jumping onto your lap, you should gently squeeze his paws after he does so. This communicates that the behavior is unacceptable and should be avoided. Although it may be uncomfortable, it does not hurt them when done lightly. Before long, they will stop their habit of jumping on people due to this association.

Use the same command for the behavior you want him to demonstrate. Your commands should always begin with your dog’s name. Then, say the command. Your dog will notice their name and they will see that you want their attention.

You need to teach your dog to stop when you give them their command. You must find positive methods to reinforce your commands when training a dog. Just simply telling your dog ‘no’ doesn’t help him or her in understanding how to properly react. Every dog and every situation is different. This means that their training must be tailored accordingly.

Training may be a challenge, but it’s necessary. Your pet is ruining all your things, and your patience is wearing thin. Use these steps to learn the proper way to train a dog to behave indoors.
