Dog|puppy obedience training tips
Sponsored Links:
In many ways, dogs also like different things to humans as well. One of the most obvious areas is obedience. A lot of human beings resent being told what to do, and act up as a result. Dogs, however, generally love obedience training, and want nothing more than to please their human by doing as they're told.
Obedience training also helps to reinforce the fact that you're in charge.
From day one, you should fix things and the place for the dog so that he is habitated and easily adapts to the changes. The area where your puppy should sleep should be a small room or a fenced place to restrict the movements of the puppy. The bed should be raised a few inches from the floor. The area surrounding the bed should be well protected with newspapers in the event of a natural accident. Puppies rarely spoil their own beds. If they do, the habit can be broken if you feed them in the same spoilt bed. The arrival of a puppy is exciting for both you and him. He would be curious to look at various places in the house and explore all. Allow him to do so. Eventually his curiosity will die down and he will obey you.
Training your dog to perform for fun and to improve his sitting, eating and other basic habits can be a lot of fun. Both you and your dog will come much closer to each other; you will know each other on a personal basis and living together will be all on the more interesting and enjoyable. But to train, you need the qualities of a trainer. If you are a stern, disciplined, quiet and introvert person, then probably you might think that you can train well since you yourself live a disciplined life. But remember, teaching is an art in itself. Introverts can't express themselves clearly. From my own little knowledge and experience, I will list down the five key qualities you need to possess while training your dog
1. Patience
2. Kindness
3. Clear and consistent expression
4. Receptiveness.
5. Faith All the qualities are self-explanatory.
You should not get angry when your dog fails to respond. You must give instructions which are clear and should repeat them in the same voice, tone and gesture whenever required. Further, faith in the abilities of you and your dog to learn is very important . Unless you believe in it, it will not be accomplished. Your dog, if he is around six to eight weeks of age, will be at his best to learn commands from you. If he is younger or older he might take extra time to learn, but remember patience and faith. You must buy a dog who is healthy, plump, lively and not timed. Generally people prefer male dogs for training as they are more robust and active, but this is a misnomer. The normal training which is given at home can equally be taken as efficiently by a female.
