20 Methods To Achieve Successful Dog Training
By Lamar Deane
1. All dog training should be established upon teaching the dog appropriate habits.
2. When training your dog make sure he sees what you are doing. When you say certain words or phrases, have the dog to understand that he is to do certain things.
3. The success to training your dog is he has to understand that at the end, a certain thing will take place.
4. Commands should always be given in the same words and with the same manner of voice.
5. Don't demand or rush your dog for immediate obedience as this will only confuse the dog. Give him a minute or two to carry out your commands. Training your dog takes patience.
6. Developing a bond with your dog is an important step in teaching commands. All future training depends upon this. If your dog doesn't respond to a step correctly, go back to the beginning of the exercise and start again. This will teach him that the act must be done correctly through it's entirety.
7. Immediately after every act that your dog has performed correctly reward him with a treat or a favorite toy.
8. Don't try to teach your dog 2 or 3 feats at a time. have a one-track mind. However, this doesn't mean a training session can't include more than a 4 or 5 different tasks.
9. Keep in mind a dog can't understand all you say...only the words, the commands and the names you teach it.
10. To be a success at training your dog you must be able
