Getting a new puppy is a joyous day. However, without a plan in place, that joy will quickly morph into frustration. As you pick up after your dog, you might regret your decision to have one. However, it's possible to feel the joy you experienced whenever you first got your dog by training your dog effectively. The advice below will help you set out a winning strategy. When you verbally correct your dog, do it quickly and concisely. Don't berate your dog with a lengthy speech. Be firm and get them to do your bidding. Additionally, you can raise the tone of your voice for emphasis. You should always say commands in the same tone and volume. Your voice tone lets your dog know that you are serious and that you expect their obedience. It also helps the dog to understand the difference between a sharp tone for discipline and a sharp but non-punishing command. Set a schedule and routine for feeding your dog from the very beginning of your relationship. Your dog should be fed at the same time everyday and they should only have a certain amount of time to eat. By doing this, your dog will eventually learn to finish their food in one sitting, making feeding a little easier on you.

Does your dog pull on the leash? This annoying behavior is extremely common and quite simple to rectify. A harness can make walking your dog a more enjoyable experience. It can also reduce the amount of pulling your dog does. You must repeat all new commands. You may need to repeat the command more than 20 or 30 times. Try to maintain as much patience as possible, for the sake of your dog. Your dog will not dig in the trash if you feed it and give it enough toys. remove trash out regularly and avoid putting meat scraps in the garbage. If your dog continues to dig in the trash, then crate them when you can't supervise them. One of the first things to teach your dog is to come to you when called. Your dog should learn to return to you when called, no matter what is going on. This behavior can be built in steps. Knowing this command might save the life of your dog one day, so make sure that he follows it every time.

Do not ever use a shock collar to train your dog. They are often scams and, in any case, are completely unnecessary to proper dog training. Plus, using shock collars could discourage your dog in having good behavior. Usually if you do this your dog will respond in the wrong way.

Give your dog a lot of affection. Dogs need positive reinforcement when they are doing the right thing. When he obeys a command or behaves well, be generous with attention and praise. Keep your dog happy and it will be easier to train. Consistency is extremely important in any training program. When others are involved in the training, everyone should be on the same page and use the same commands. It will be easier for a pet to learn a single set of commands.

You should always take your dog around people when they are a puppy to get them used to it. It's important that your dog act appropriately around other people and dogs. You cannot teach this in any other way. This will help reduce any sporadic behavior within new environments, too. Make sure to use the exact same tone with your dog every time you give him a command. Your voice tone lets your dog know that you are serious and that you expect their obedience. It is important that your dog be able to distinguish between a command and a reprimand.

Use primary reinforcement to train your dog. You need to give your dog a treat if they are good. Primary reinforcement could be treats or giving your dog a belly rub. Your dog will learn well from this.

Spray your dog with water to discourage bad behavior at home. This helps the dog learn which behaviors are not acceptable. Afterwards your dog won't do these things anymore.

Don't overlook check-ups for a pup. Check your dog's health if you notice him having a hard time with training. Dogs hide discomfort and pain for a long time. So many times behavioral changes are the only clue that there is a health issue. If the dog suddenly becomes aggressive, this could be an indicator of pain. Tailor your training methods to suit your dog. If you see that something is not working with your dog, try another method of reinforcement. If your dog does respond to treats, that can be an effective reward in many different situations. Make sure you remain controlled when rewarding your dog. Reward them only when your dog is calm after it performs a trick. Even though your accomplishment might thrill you, they reflect your energy. Do not lose control of any situation with contagious excitement and enthusiasm. Be calm, expect calm, then reward appropriately. Sometimes dogs do bite, regardless of who you are. If your dog is not trained, they might think they are the Alpha. Understanding how you should behave to show your leadership is important. When your dog doesn't understand your human behavior, even a calm dog can bite you. When you train your dog, remember to keep sessions short. Spend about 15 minutes on a certain task with your dog. End each session by praising your dog. In conclusion, there are many benefits to training your dog. The tips in this article will help you train more effectively. Good training is enjoyable and enhances the owner-dog relationship.
