Teaching Your Dog How To Behave

When it comes to dog training it can be hard to even know where to begin. When you bring your sweet new pet home you will soon begin to notice that it needs to be taught a few things.

What many people do not realize it that training is fairly easy once you recognize what your dog needs and what they are trying to tell you. You will want to take into consideration the age of your dog, where it was prior to homing with you, and if the dog is sick. Once you have answered those questions you will be able to begin your learning process.

Dog training can be difficult if you have an older dog than if you have a puppy. Breaking nervous, territorial, and negative habits of older dogs can take longer than with a younger pup. The key is to be consistent and patient.

If you find that you are not getting anywhere, contact your vet as they can help you figure out if there is a medical issue. Positive training gets you much more rewards than negative training, so remember to try and not scold your dog too much.

Fixing Poor Behavior

Dog training begins with admitting poor dog behavior. This extends from just using the toilet in the house to other bad issues such as chewing, jumping, and wandering off. You will want to teach your pet to stay with you. Listen to your commands, and respond to your wishes quick. Doing this will enable you to control how your dog behaves and whether he or she will listen to you when you tell them to stop.

The best way to get your dog to listen to you is to use the reward system. Each time your puppy does what you tell him or her to, give the pup a cookie. This incentive will have your dog listening to you intently. With each reward also give praise. This way you can phase treats out and simply give praise for good behavior.

The Potty Problem

When your dog is using your home as a toilet, things can be tense. No one wants to be cleaning up after their dog forever inside. There are many ways dog training can enable you to control where your dog goes to the bathroom. First you will need to evaluate your dog’s age and health status. If you have a puppy that is healthy, it is safe to say that you are simply teaching your dog where the potty is and how to communicate to you it is time to go.

If your dog is over a year old and using your home as a toilet, there might be some other issues. He might be nervous, abused in the past, or sick. Older dogs that are not using the outside for toilet use should be seen by a vet prior to beginning any type of training. Once a good bill of health is given you can then use behavior modification to fix the problem.
