Investing the necessary time and effort into dog training is one of the best things you can do, for both you and your canine companion. Having a dog that’s happy to do what you say, is a great thing. Read on to learn how to train your dog properly.
When you verbally correct your dog, do it quickly and concisely. Do not go on and on about how bad the dog is behaving. Just tell them no, and point them in the desired direction. Let your dog know that if you raise your voice they need to pay attention.
Keep your dog on a healthy diet. Your dog will not benefit from a poor diet. Without proper nutrition, your dog’s general health will suffer and there may also be direct effects on behavior. A simple improvement to their diet will work wonders in how a dog feels, and make it much easier for them to have a clear mind during training.
With patience and a handful of tasty treats, you can easily teach your pet to roll over. Firstly, have the dog lie down. Next, you must hold one treat close to the floor off to one side of their head and slowly bring it up and over the dog’s head to the opposite side. He should then roll over while following the treat. Be sure to say ROLL OVER as your dog is rolling. Eventually, he will learn to perform the trick upon command. This may take time, so don’t become frustrated.
When training your dogs, always use the same tone of voice and volume level when you give a command. Your dog will learn to recognize your tone and know they should obey. Your dog needs to understand that there is a difference between the tone you use to discipline your dog from the tone you use to give an order.
As was previously mentioned, there are many reasons for training a dog. Dogs want to please their owners, and when you have a good dog they are a pleasant addition to any family. The information that has been provided in the article should help you learn how to train your beloved dog.
