Sometimes it may feel as though you brought home Cujo instead of Lassie! With some training, you can have a well behaved pet.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Give your puppy time to be okay with a crate by taking the training one small step at a time. Eventually they will become comfortable with the crate and you can then try to shut the door to the crate.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

Here are a few ways to make crate training<\/a> more positive for your dog. To get a hesitant dog enthusiastic about getting in a crate, put a tempting treat like a fresh chew toy inside and close it up while your dog is outside. They will see the toy inside the crate and will want in the crate to get it. Once in the crate, let them know they did a good job by praising them.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> A healthy diet is important to the health and well-being of your dog. The effects a bad diet has on your dog extend further than you might think.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

Crate training your new puppy is most effective when you take small steps. Once your dog is accustomed to being in the crate, try closing the door and giving your pet a treat through the wire. Begin with small intervals, and work your way up to longer times. If the dog doesn’t like it, slow the process.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Keep your dog up to date with dog training, in order to keep him or her compliant with an established set of rules. Do not assume that your dog will remember his training all his life.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

You should develop a feeding routine with your dog. Your dog should be fed at the same time everyday and they should only have a certain amount of time to eat. Your dog will learn to finish eating before you take the dish away.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Keep your tone of voice consistent when training dogs. Your voice tone lets your dog know that you are serious and that you expect their obedience.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

Use the right size crate for effective crate training. Keep in mind that puppies grow big. Choose a crate that your puppy can grow in, but won’t grow out of. At full size your dog should be able to move around without feeling too constricted.<\/p>\n

Disciplined leash walking is very important in canine training. This is important for the safety of your pet, and it is also beneficial for you as well.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> You can use a spray bottle filled with water as a mild aversive to prevent inappropriate chewing. Your dog will quickly learn that what he is doing is not acceptable.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

When training your dog, keep track of time during each session. Your dog will get bored and antsy if you spend too much time on one thing. Ten minutes is about the length of time a dog can handle.<\/p>\n

Training Sessions<\/h2>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Guarantee that your dog can tell right from wrong within all situations. This will require firm boundaries from everybody in your house.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

You need to make certain your dog is having fun each day during training sessions<\/a>. Your dog will bond with you the more fun you have together, and this helps the dog give a positive response. While you can have fun during training sessions, it’s a good idea to spend a little time simply playing.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Dogs are dogs and need time to act as such. Dogs need a healthy diet too, along with a place to get exercise and lots of stimulation.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

It is important that you are firm with your dog for effective training. This does not mean you should continually admonish your dog. Balance firmness with love for best results. This will help develop a strong bond during your training session.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Consistency is one of the most important requirements for effective dog training. Make sure everyone involved in your dog’s life uses the same commands that you do.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

“Quiet” is a command you will probably want to teach your dog. As the dog begins barking, display a treat and then repeat your order until the barking ceases. Then, you are able to reward the dog. By consistently repeating this, your dog will be quiet because he wants the treat.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> Punishment is an ineffective tool for training your dog. You should take steps to help your pet avoid bad behavior, but if he makes a mistake help him understand correct actions.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

Overworking a new puppy with new information will only lead to trouble. Puppies have a very limited attention span. When doing training, make them in small short sessions and always make them positive. You want to end the session on a positive note; if you push too hard, he will end up dreading your training sessions.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> When it comes to barking, be aware of the environment or activities when your dog barks excessively. Understanding the triggers enables you to deal with the behavior correctly.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

Try using a different voice for each different purpose. Praise, corrections, and commands need their own tones to help the dog differentiate between effects and causes with both of your behaviors. Commands must be sharp and firm, corrections should be loud and praise should be given in a natural tone.<\/p>\n

TIP!<\/b><\/font> It is best to nip unwanted chewing in the act by catching him doing it and dealing with it immediately. This will teach your puppy what he can chew on, and he will be less likely to chew on those things he’s not allowed to put in his mouth.<\/small><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n

A lot of pet owners are pleasantly surprised how canine behavior training can fit seamlessly into their lives and just how soon they can see positive effects. So if the relationship with your dog is not as good as it should be, try a few of these suggestions.<\/p>\n
