The Fundamentals of Training Your Dog

Dog training is the same as for all animals, you communicate to your dog what you want him to do; when the dog has performed as desired, you reward him. You immediately repeat the exercise a few times and review it frequently until the dog's response to the command is practically automatic. But of course it isn't quite as simple as it sounds.

Tip! Don't allow your dog to jump on you when you get home. You should make sure they are calm when you come into the house or in the room that they are in.

In the first place, communications with your dog are limited. In certain cases, SIT or COME for example, you can give your dog the appropriate command every time you see that he is about to perform these actions anyway, then praise him.
When giving commands, be calm, distinct, brief, patient, and perfectly clear in repeating your commands. If your dog just sits there cocking his ears with a lost look, it is obvious you are not getting your message across and that you need to improve your communications system.

Tip! Consistency is key in crate training a puppy. When your puppy gets out of its crate, you need to give it the occasion to relieve itself right away.

One-word commands are best at. Later on you can use the key word in a sentence, pronouncing it gradually and not as focused. When your dog has grasped your meaning and performed correctly, and has been rewarded, repeat the performance at once in order to fix it in his memory. Because you don't want to bore him with it, three or four times are sufficient for the first lesson. You should repeat the lessons again the next day, and thereafter at the beginning of each training session until he has mastered it. You will see that your dog really enjoys showing off what he learned to do. Certain conditions are necessary for successful training. Try to schedule the lessons at the same time and in the same place, one that is a secluded as free and possible from distractions such as passing cars, playing children, and other animals.

Tip! Dog's deserve more freedom as their training progresses. If you can instill a healthy sense of obedience with an appreciation for your love, you and your dog are guaranteed to enjoy your time together.

The learning process from the dog's point of view, involves listening attentively and watching you as you give a command, realizing that each sound and gesture signifies something he is being asked to do. Once this sequence has been established in his mind, there is no limit to what he can learn.

 Please do not attempt to school a tired dog, or an ailing one, or one that has just eaten. The dog will only become frustrated, irritable, and his only memory of your time together will always be an unpleasant one.
