The first step of training your pooch should be to assert your control. You have to show your dog that you are in control or he will not obey or respect you. In practice, this means that you should walk ahead when walking your dog, for instance, rather than allowing him or her to take the lead.<\/p>\n

When you meet an unfamiliar dog, you should go up to him slowly and allow him to sniff your hand. This allows the dog to get used to your scent and makes him much more likely to trust you. The dog will no longer be afraid after he is able to recongnize the scent and may begin to follow commands.<\/p>\n

Make sure your dog understand he does not need to respond to the word “no”. Stick to positive training methods, as they can help the most. Saying ‘no’ does not teach your dog how to react. Every dog and situation is unique and you should adapt your strategies accordingly.<\/p>\n

When you begin training your puppy, create a bond with him by first teaching him his name. Repeat the name as much as possible, and reward your puppy when he responds. This should be the first thing you teach your puppy. Try to spend a good amount of time with your new dog. When he trusts you, he ends up being more responsive to all sorts of training.<\/p>\n

When puppy training, be sure that your dog’s leash has some slack in it. Canines are prone to being explorers when they are out and about. Due to their excitement, they will try to pull on their leash. Smart pet owners will make sure the pet walks on a leash with some slack to it.<\/p>\n

Don’t give up on training your dog, no matter what. Your dog will not remember his training if you are not there to constantly remind him of what you expect. Realize that training your dog is a daily task, no different than feeding and sheltering it.<\/p>\n

Do you feed your dog a well-balanced diet? Some bad behavior could be attributed to an imbalanced diet. Alter your dogs diet to make sure they are getting proper energy during the day. Consult a vet for information about what foods your dog should be eating.<\/p>\n

The cause of your dog’s destructive chewing habits might just be separation anxiety. Crate training your dog and giving him items to play with while you’re gone should help keep both your home and dog safe.<\/p>\n

Many canine behaviors are instinctual, so provide appropriate outlets for each of your dog’s needs. Dogs need to eat well, a spacious run, and lots of toys and interesting things to occupy their time.<\/p>\n

Do not allow your dog to pull you around when on a walk. This is one of the most common complaints owners have about their dogs, and it’s also incredibly easy to remedy. The right harness will cut pulling quickly and can be purchased at any pet store.<\/p>\n

If you want your dog to be agile, find a breed that is naturally this way. Most dogs can learn agility and join competitions, but border collies, Australian shepherds and Labs usually do best in these competitions.<\/p>\n

Training Sessions<\/h2>\n

Vary the treats you use as rewards for your dog during training sessions. Rewarding your dog with special treats during training will encourage him to obey the commands you give him. He will begin to look forward to your training sessions.<\/p>\n
