Everyone likes to
have a cat in the house or a dog that plays all day long in the back yard.
These animals are indeed beautiful animals which can get more action in
the family. Everyone who has a dog wants to train him so that he can
follow his instructions. But it is not an easy task to train a dog. There
may be some problems in front of any body who doesnt know how to train a
dog or puppy. One of the first and most important training steps any new
dog owner makes is training the dog or puppy to relieve itself outside.
With daily repetition and a little patience you can have your dog going
potty outside in no time. The first and very hardest command for a puppy
is Watch Me. The Watch Me command is used to get attention of dogs.
Very first few days you may have problem, but some days after you will
see, your dog obey your instructions. Discipline through rewards is a good
thing. Discipline does not mean only punishment. Discipline means training
that leads to a desired outcome. When your puppy performs as expected,
reward him with words of praise such as Good Boy, Well done, Good
Puppy etc. You can kiss him and love him. Getting a new puppy can be fun
for everyone. But training him requires serious efforts. Ongoing
discipline means a concerted commitment by at least one adult member of
the family. Keep these guidelines in mind before getting a puppy, because
if you can't follow those, you may end up with a sad puppy and unhappy
owners. Also you will not feel good with that. But it is you
responsibility to make the trained puppy.
For the
entertainment of your puppy you can purchase some toys for him, so that he
will not feel sad. The most important part of training a dog is not the
time you put in, but rather consistency. Important thing about training is
making the experience a positive one. When your dog responds correctly to
your command, praise and reward him. These things will affect positive.
You dont need to loose your temper when it doesnt respond correctly; you
need have more patience there. E.g. If you are saying him SIT, SIT, SIT,
SIT maybe he doesnt do that. Then go to him and make him sit. These
things will affect on him. Instead of working for one or two hours on
Saturday and Sunday, work 15 minutes every day, it may be also in the
morning. Now, your dog can have a successful consistent training
experience every day, instead of having a tiring partially successful
experience twice a week. And you will feel that your dog is now just
trained, it will become also a very wealthy dog with great energy for
playing.
All this training
tips can improve your dog skills, making him more confident on the peoples
who surround and love him.
