Learn How To Train Your Puppy And Have A Exciting Time

By Susanna Armstrong

Your pet is a member of your family and he reflects upon you. You teach your kids to be respectable members of society; you need to educate your dog to be a respectable member of society too. A well-behaved, obedient and compliant dog is a pleasure to own and a pleasure to be around, but a puppy will not become that well-mannered dog without some training. Training your dog is vital.

Your dog's temperament will be very significant when it comes to training your dog. Many dogs are nervous, is your dog timid because of past abuse or just because of a meek personality? A dog may also be assertive, perhaps because of past abuse or because of a character trait where he wants to establish himself as the alpha dog. The training you select will be dependent upon what you are looking for and the characteristics that you want to instill and the temperament and personality of your own dog.

Regardless of whether you choose to train your dog yourself or enlist the assistance of a professional, you want to make sure that the energy and patience that is required is there. You also want your dog to be trained with love so that your dog achieves the highest outcomes.

A few items to keep in mind when schooling your dog:

#1 Reward your pet each time he/she does what you say successfully with a treat.

#2 Train via voice and hand commands.

#3 Commence with one type of training every day.

You are able to start with training your dog right now. Take a look at the many dog-training programs and find the one that you feel the most happy with, then just sign up, download it to your computer, and start training your dog right away.

Although there are a range of distinctive training approaches and you can pick the one that you believe will work for you, there are a few consistent principles when it comes to dog training. Consistency, patience and persistence and the unconditional need for the person to be in the "alpha dog" role are constant in each great program.

Whenever selecting a pro dog trainer you should ask for recommendations from individuals that you respect and you must also shop around by asking questions and comparing. You may pick a trainer and then change your mind, but be wary of this because most dogs need constancy in order to make good improvement.

So that you can use positive reinforcement you should praise and reward your dog when he does something right and give him little or no attention at all when he does something wrong. Yelling or reprimanding him when he does something wrong will only end up mystifying him and it will not help your training efforts. - 31845
