How To Make Dog Training An Easy Process

By Jim Read


People say that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Hopefully we can help you prove them otherwise with the tips and tricks in this article. All of the methods have been hand picked for your older dog that you either have never trained, never trained well, or obtained from someone else.

Dogs need attention. This can be either positive or negative attention. They will learn rather quickly what it is that gets your attention. Sometimes they won't care if you are giving positive or negative attention. Continue to reward your dog for good behavior with positive attention and do not give attention for any behavior you do not want. This will help to see the behaviors you want out of your dog.

When training your dog, make sure to enforce all commands you give. Do not repeat them over and over, but issue them once firmly and make sure your pet follows through. Do not let your dog ignore a command or else he will think that you are not serious and will disregard most of the training session.

One tip to keep in mind when trainingyour dog is to be sure that you establish clear goals before starting any sort of routine. This will ensure that you and your dog have a clear focus on the intended task or behavior. Direct action is essential to proper training.

If you're tired of the commands your dog already knows, try spicing up an old behavior. A fun trick is teaching your dog to give either paw when asked. You can teach this a few ways, but try picking up the corresponding paw to your hand and treating and praising. When your dog gets the idea, treat and praise for successful raising of the right paw!

As already noted, dog training can be vital. Responsible dog owners take the time to work with their dogs and train them. Applying the information in this article, can help with dog trainingand help you to become a better dog owner. Working with your dog can build a better relationship, that will ensure that he will truly be your best friend.
