Easy Dog Training Tips
Here are tips that one should keep in mind to train his dog more
easily.
Digging Behavior
Dogs, as social beings, consider digging as their outlet when
they are lonely. Nutrient deficiency may also cause this
digging. Also known as pica, they sometimes eat the dirt they
dig to supplement their health. Spending more time with your dog
and giving him a health check will keep his digging behavior at
bay.
Potty Training
For dog potty training, a reward-based method will prove to be a
more rewarding endeavor. Giving your dog a bit of dog food when
it performs a good potty behavior will make it easier for it to
remember the good thing that it did.
Repeat and Repeat
Considerable repetitions will give your dog ample time to grasp
the command. Consistency is the name of the game. After doing
enough repetitions, not helping him with the routine will test
if the dog really got it. Three successful attempts in a row is
a fine gauge in defining if it's just a fluke or if the dog has
actually understood the drill.
Direct and Correct
Communicate to the dog how the drill should be. Be clear on what
you want the dog to do. Just commanding the dog without
correcting him if he did it wrong is not advisable.
Timing is Gold
Timing means that you should consider the age of the dog when
considering how to deal with him. It is best to train dogs while
they are still puppies. Always remember that "old dogs can't
learn new tricks" saying.
Be More Stubborn Than the Dog
Establishing rapport to the dog must always be in this order:
You as the alpha dog (authoritative) and him as the submissive
being. Show any sign of fear when he snaps back, and you damage
that rapport. Don't let the dog not complete the exercise. This
will teach the dog to just hold out long enough for you give in
to his preferences.
Be A Good Actor
Provide your puppy with an outlet for his chewing urges. Also,
you may practice yelping loudly when your pup starts to chew on
you. After yelping, fold your arms and for 10 minutes consider
ignoring him. This response is the thing that happens when a pup
becomes too rough on other puppies. But depending on your
puppy's personality, he may react otherwise, such as biting
more. In this case, use a more aggressive approach.
