Dog Training Technique
When you say "sit" does your dog give you that "there's no way
I'm going to do what you say" look? When you're taking him for a
walk does he tug and pull and make you half run to the park? If
the answer is "yes" then you need to learn some dog training
techniques. They are harmless and aid free ways to train your
dog to listen to what you have to say to him.
There is one dog training technique which I have tried and
tested and it is great. It's called the "Nothing in life is
free" technique. It basically works on the fact that nothing is
free, your dog has to do something to get something in return.
For example if he wants food he has to remain seated until you
make his dinner, or if you want to talk him for a walk then he
has to lie down until you put his leash and collar on. These
training techniques all are based on the fact that your dog will
realise to get what he wants he has to do what you are telling
him to do. What if he doesn't do it? Walk away. Don't shout at
him or keep trying if he doesn't listen just ignore him and walk
away then about 5 minutes later go back and try again. He soon
comes to realise that you are in charge and he has to do what
you say to get what wants.
When dogs are born they usually have siblings and their mother
is the "Leader of the pack", when a young dog leaves his mother
he starts to think that he is free and can do what he wants.
When he first joins a family he starts to act dominant. He tries
to be leader of the house. You can't let him gain this position
you need to show him through dog training techniques that humans
are the head of your house not the dog. He does not have to be
aggressive to get what he wants. Sometimes dogs use the
sympathetic approach using their puppy dog eyes. This is just
another attempt at trying to get higher in the dominance
hierarchy and you can't let them get ahead of you.
When it comes to kids dog's see them more as playmates than
masters as children can get down to their height and play with
them, under adult supervision when your child gets to around the
age of nine you can start to teach them to use dog training
techniques so they can show the dog that when they ask him to do
something he has to listen to them, not just listen to you.
Dog training techniques are extremely efficient and very simple
to carry out, the training doesn't even seem like training it
just requires repetition and you dog will soon catch on that
nothing in life is free!
