To a new owner, training a dog may seem like an impossible task. There is a lot of information out there and sorting through it all can seem difficult. Use the following tips to train your dog.
It is easy to train a roll with treats. The first step is to get the dog to lay down. You can put the treat on the floor by their head and then raise it up over to the other side. He should follow the treat with his nose, causing him to roll his whole body over. As he is rolling over, give the “roll over” command, and do this repeatedly until he can roll over with just the command and without the treat. It will probably take multiple attempts, but you will be the talk of the town when the trick is learned.
Dog’s deserve more freedom as their training progresses. Your dog will flourish with a good balance between control and respect. Make sure you do not provide excessive freedom right away, or backsliding may occur.
Always get your dog’s attention the same way. Say your dog’s name, followed by the command. Use your dog’s name to get his or her attention. Once you do this, tell your dog your command. Dogs that are properly trained will respond when their name is said.
Consistency is the key to training. When you have a whole family in the house, they should all use the same training techniques. The dog will learn more easily if he learns a single set of commands and if he knows what response will be received for his behavior.
A key part of dog training is to start early. it is more difficult for your dog has to unlearn bad habits than it is to teach him good habits. If you do not want the dog to beg for table scraps, then never give it any food from the table to start with.
By following these tips, you should have a better understanding of how to train your dog. You will be more efficient if you establish a plan ahead of time.
