Beginning the training for your pet early is better. Take some effort to study how to train your dog. Give a few hours every day for that activity. Owners must understand that training a dog is somewhat similar to communicating with a toddler but their senses are very different from humans. It may seem that a trainer is only talking to a child, but the dogs hear, smell, see and feel in a different way. These factors are important considerations in training your dog.
It is important for the owner or trainer to be dominant early in the relationship. The tools like collars, leashes, commands and other materials are found useful to establish dominance. Displaying dominance does not mean that there should be physical aggressiveness or abuse to the dog. The owners just have to be firm with their command in order for the dog to follow them. In order to display dominance, commands should be short, simple and clear and must be uttered in a firm, not harsh, manner.
For a dog to learn how to come or sit or do other tricks, owners can use simple techniques or command cues and a lot of repetition. Patience and determination will help in accomplishing this. Doing the trick several times a day is a good way to teach the dog, but it is also important to consider some rest and break. Another important thing to remember is to always accompany commands with a look or gesture, which becomes a sign language for the dog and the owner. Once the dog is already familiar with the gestures, the owner can now use verbal commands or gesture to get the dog do what he is asked to do.
While in training, one must use a shorter leash if taking the dog for a walk as this will help the owner control the movement of the dog. This will limit the dog's ability to run wild and will force him to follow commands. The leash may be made longer after the training.
Above all, consistency should be part of how you train your dog. It is a must to use the same commands and the same gestures always. Avoid using the same word for two commands; otherwise, the dog might get confused.
There are also two other important tips that should be used when you train your dog. Give rewards when the dog accomplishes something. This will help in the training as the dog will be reminded of the things he must do to get a reward. Make sure not to hurt the dog or yell at it when the dog commits mistakes. Dogs may not be able to understand the real reason of his owner's anger. This is not part of the program on how to train your dog and will definitely not help.
Dog training should be fun for the owner and the dog. Owners should not make the training very difficult or complicated especially when training just started. It should also not take many hours of the day as this might bore or exhaust the pet. Nevertheless, owners and trainers like you should master these tips on how to train your dog.
