Most animal lovers can attest to a dog's happy and faithful nature that people just love. Despite this, many are reluctant in keeping a dog because training them is hard work. The good news is it doesn't have to be. Here are some easy tips that will help you have that fun and rewarding pet-owner relationship you've always wanted.
First of all, you will have to set your leader status in the dog's eyes. Once he recognizes you as his authority he will follow you without much trouble. Establish this daily with regular routine that mirrors the animal world's system. Allow your dog to watch you eat first and feed him only after you're done. Don't walk around him if he is obstructing your path. Gently force him to leave his position by pushing him out of the way. As he acknowledges you to be the leader of the pack, the easier it is to teach him in the future.
Dogs can read emotions, especially when you are near them. Be strong and authoritative when you train them. But keep in mind that it is with positive reinforcement that dogs respond well to. Lavish him with accolades. when he obeys a command perfectly. Have doggie treats on hand to give him when he does well. Of course when he makes a mistake you have to correct him at the time it happens and not after. Training should go for around ten to fifteen minutes a few times a day.
You will find that all dogs have consistent behavioral patterns that are a reliable index to their state of mind, so to speak. Happy dogs have wagging tails, a joyful bark and an open expression. Angry dogs will bare their teeth, snarl and tense up, ready to attack. Recognizing particular signs and correctly responding to it will help you in training him successfully.
Be patient in teaching your dogs new tricks. Ideally you start as early as six weeks but even older dogs can still learn. You will encounter some difficulty at first but remain calm and patient. Consistency will win out and he will learn sooner or later. Do not change your training patterns or schedule. Dogs get confused easily and you might lose ground if that happens.
Train your dogs in a place with no distractions. A playful butterfly or whizzing car will distract him from your lessons. You will find it difficult to get his attention then. A peaceful backyard or any indoor area will be satisfactory.
Most importantly, don't forget the reason you have a dog. To have fun with him! All that teaching and training can get tiring sometimes. When that happens, stop and have a run around the park with him. Enjoy each other's company. Your canine friend will help you forget problems and think highly of you regardless of your of status, appearance, or performance. They are the best not because they can heel; they are the best because they love you no matter what.
