Dog Training and What You Need to Know

---

     Nothing can be more frustrating than having a dog that just does not listen. Many people blame the dog, but the truth is usually it is the owners fault. By getting dog training early you can enjoy your pet much more, and your pet will also be more content as well. There are many different things you can do and we will highlight some of the most important ones. It will take you some time on your part, but you and your pet will enjoy a much happier life together.

There are many dog training tips that anyone can use, but without a doubt starting early is the key. Bad behavior can start early and you must stop it before it gets too bad. Teaching a puppy early is the key. By making sure they know simple commands as they get older, you can teach them more complex things. By all means start early and training will also go much smoother.

Reward your dog or puppy for good behavior not bad. The one thing people tend to forget is dogs really do want your approval and will try to please you. When they accomplish something or show good behavior reward them with a treat they love.

Puppies tend to have loads of energy from running through the house to getting into things. Try to find things for them to do to release this extra energy. Taking the animal for a walk or outside to play on a daily basis is a good idea. It also will let you bond with your pet better, and this time is very valuable in the dog training process.

Just as people are on a schedule try to keep your dog on one as well. By doing this your dog will have much more success as you are following a set schedule. In fact your pet will actually look forward to this way of doing things. When you do not follow structure the chances for success go down.

Do not have multiple people trying to train your dog. This confuses your dog and the chances for success will go way down. They will not know who to listen to, and the chances of the training taking hold also are not very good.

Yelling or beating the dog is something you must avoid at all times. Many people think that yelling at a dog will work, but that is just not the truth. Just like anyone else, yelling really does not accomplish anything. Working and praising your pet will get you much further than berating your dog or puppy.

Dog training is something that takes time and you must understand that. The key is too not give up even if you do not see success right away. Each dog learns at their own pace. Some will grasp it very quickly, while others it could take some time. The key is you must not become frustrated with the results of your pets failures. Keeping plugging away and success will come to you and your pet.
