You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to teach them all those fancy tricks but there are a few basic skills that every dog should learn.  It can be hard to tell which dog training tips are actually worth trying and which are useless.  These are a few of the most basic but important dog training tips that you should be working on with your dog. <\/p>\n<p> Sit is one of the most basic and yet important commands a dog should learn.  This way you can tell them to sit when people are coming into your home and visiting you or when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re at the vet trying to keep them calm.  If you have guests over and want your dog to sit and not bother them, or you need them to sit down and be calm while you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re at the vet, teaching your dog to sit is important.  Of all the dog training tips on teaching a dog to sit the best is to begin with the dog standing. <\/p>\n<p> Then you want to tell them sternly to sit, and as soon as they do you give them a treat, toy or pat on the head.  This positive affirmation is going to let them know that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re getting rewarded for doing what they were told.  The dog may seem confused at first but with practice and patience you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll teach them what \u00e2\u20ac\u0153sit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d means and that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being rewarded every time they do it when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re told.  If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re having problems with housetraining your dog, remember that if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not more than six months old they aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t able to fully control their bladders so this may be the problem. <\/p>\n<p> Sticking their face in it and yelling at them are not actions that are actually going to get you the results you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for, so make sure this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t how you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re reacting when your dog has an accident.  This is just going to bring the dog down and make them upset which may even result in a bigger problem with housetraining.  Instead you want to talk to them sternly as soon as they have an accident and take them outside so they understand that this is where they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re supposed to be going to the bathroom.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also very helpful to create a schedule for the dog, which will teach them what times they eat and what times they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re supposed to go to the bathroom. <\/p>\n<p> This is going to help their bodies become accustomed to the schedule and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be able to hold it longer until they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re let out.  A dog bark collar for instance can work to teach your dog when to bark and when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just annoying.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good for dogs to bark at night when they hear noises but when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing it constantly during the day and night this can be a huge bother to you and your neighbors.  This collar gives a slight shock to the dog every time they bark which teaches them to only bark at certain times. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are thousands of different dog training tips you could try.
