Simple Dog Training Techniques Anyone Can Use

By Ubenn Ubersoxx


A lot of people want to train their dogs but they think it's too difficult. This is probably because they don't know how to properly train their dogs. The key to training dogs is that you have to expand your knowledge on methods and ways you can train your dogs to know how to properly train them. Read through this article to learn many helpful training strategies and ideas.

If your dog has a hard time learning from your training, figure out what changes may help. If the room is not quite enough your dog may be distracted. Long training sessions may exceed your dog's attention span. Sessions that are too short do not give your dog enough time to absorb training well.

Producing good dog training involves patience, encouragement and a good reward system. What you need to do is establish a quality reward system for when they are doing the right things. Supplementing positive behavior with treats is a great way to start, and after some time you can train them with a different reward system such as compliments and affection. The main thing to focus on is encouraging them to do the right thing.

Not all dogs are comfortable around other dogs or people. The best way to train your dog to be more comfortable around other animals or people is to expose them to as many people and other dogs as often as possible, preferably earlier in their life. This will make them accustomed to being around others.

Do not use training or aids that involve excessive (or even regular) punishment to your dog, as the cost may far outweigh the benefits. Prong collars can cause issues with the trachea in susceptible breeds while simultaneously using negative means of reinforcing heeling. You should be both knowledgeable about and comfortable with whatever training and/or aids you use.

If you have problems with your dog digging up your yard and garden, create a space just for fido. Essentially make a sandbox filled with dirt. To get your dog to understand that it is his area, bury some toys and dog treats in the dirt for him to dig up. If you occasionally bury new toys and treats, he will stay interested in his area and stay out of your garden.

Don't get discouraged. It may seem like it is taking forever to train your dog, but the truth is that you simply get tired out more quickly than your dog does. Even when it's hard, make sure that you keep trying. Stick with it, and you'll start to see results.

Be generous with rewards when training your dog. Do not be afraid of giving too much praise or too many treats. Rewarding your dog encourages him to continue the behavior that led up to the reward. Do not be afraid of spending too much time with training your dog. It will pay off.

Setup a solid plan for what you want to accomplish with your dog training. If you have goals marked on your calendar it can give you a way to measure your progress with the dog training, and offer you hints about whether or not you would need to change anything in your routine.

Treats are not the mainstay for rewarding your pet when training. Dogs will learn that if you give them a treat for a response they should expect it always. This is not necessary and should be reserved for occasional rewards. Dogs see loving, physical contact as a reward as well and will enjoy it much more than a treat that is gone in a split second.

Hopefully with the knowledge you just acquired about training your dogs you're feeling more confident with ways you can do just that. The information you learned here is good but remember that there's always more to learn, so keep on the lookout for new information and apply it whenever you can and you should see results soon.

How to choose a dog trainer for your puppy

By Steve Cote


Puppy training, along with good socialization is supreme to reach the result of a well-rounded adult dog.

Canine training at present is under controlled if at all, and this gives the results of poorly or perhaps unqualified folks having the ability to claim the position of dog trainer. Unfortunately as, often desperate, dog owners we will be able to accept a convincing dog trainer all alone affidavit.

Canine obedience training is so sundry that a great police dog trainer may not have the 1st clue of how to deal with a unrelenting toy breed. Likewise a guide dog trainer, purely handling golden retriever puppy training might not be experienced in the alteration of heavy adult dog behaviour issues like aggression or fear based behaviors.

The expert that educates himself in numerous areas of dog behaviour including breed traits and welcomes the usefulness of modern reward based techniques is reasonably rare. This quality is less frequent than the "one method suits all" dog trainer. So when selecting a dog trainer make sure that he first has awareness of your dog breed and second will only use modern and positive systems.

When selecting a trainer for your dog, ask if you can attend a training routine without your canine. Observe the way the coach interacts with the dogs in the session. Watch out for the utilisation of language or canine obedience training lingo. The good dog trainer will use words like positive, reward and bolster. Less educated trainers may advocate dominion, hatred and punishment (something that seems minor like a sharpened pull on a dogs leash is a punishment system) Check the experience of the tutor and ask for testimonials of prior clients. A pal of mine was once prohibited from a dog training class by a tutor that stated he saved dog was "damaged goods" Trainers with this kind of attitude must be steered clear of completely.
