A lot of dog owners want to train their dogs either for housebreaking or competition purposes. There are many advantages to training your dog. Well trained dogs are easier to take care of. And you can also use the pet for several purposes other than merely making it your best friend.
If you train your dog right, you will be able to use your pet as a guard dog, a
helper, or even a sled runner, if you must.
Here are tips when training your dog:
1. Establish a good dog-owner relationship with your pet.
You have to establish trust with your pet. Only through this you will be able
to teach your dog some tricks. Don抰 worry. Dogs are naturally trusting
animals, especially if their masters are good to them. It is quite easy to
establish trust with your pet. You just have to feed it right, give it treats,
and play with it from time to time.
2. Build confidence and control.
Control is very important. Control means directing your dog to do the things it
is supposed to do and make it stop doing things it shouldn抰. You can control
your dog with the use of strict words. Strict doesn抰 mean harsh. Know the
difference between the two. When you give commands to your pet, be sure that
you抮e firm enough and stand by it.
3. Make your dog happy and outgoing.
A happy dog is a lot easier to train. It is the same with people. If you抮e in
a good mood, you are more likely to do things right. The disposition is the
same with your pet. Strive to keep your dog happy so that any day becomes a
good day for training. An outgoing dog is a free-spirited dog. These are the
dogs that can be ideally trained.
4. Know your dog抯 natural drives.
Your dog has its own natural pleasure and drives. Make sure that you know what
these are so you can use it to your advantage. Dogs can easily be trained if
you use their natural instincts. With the right motivation, the entire dog
training process can be a jiffy.
5. Don抰 use cruelty when training.
Cruelty doesn抰 work well with pets. Never use harsh punishments or cruelty
when teaching your dog anything. Dogs would trust you less if you hurt it. This
won抰 help you at all. It is best that you use firm but doting words instead.
Dogs would easily be trained if it is not subjected to harsh elements.
Training your dog is quite a job. Keep in mind that everything can抰 be
achieved overnight. It can抰 even be done in a week either. You have to be very
patient. This means that you have to know your dog抯 limit. This way, you抣l be
able to groom and train your pet in the right manner. There would be trial and
errors in the whole process. Be sure that you are mentally and physically fit
for the challenge.
