Dog Training Books Review
When you see a badly behaved dog in the street we are embarassed for the owner and upset if the dog is a nuisance to us. Nobody likes a badly behaved dog.
Having decided that you want to have a well trained dog you can choose to either get somebody to train your dog for you or you can do your own dog training. Working with your dog yourself will create a terrific relationship between you and your dog.
You can also join local dog training classes and some people find this is the best route for them but classes tie you down to a certain time each week and they may not easily fit in with your busy lifestyle.
Always give your dog lots of praise and attention when he performs his instructions well. Dogs love being appreciated so the more praise you give him the harder he will try to do the things that earn that praise and attention.
Show your emotion and let your dog know how pleased you are and he will try even harder to make you happy. The more he continues on doing the right thing give him the praise that he deserves. This will create an impression on him that he has to try hard to please you and make you happy.
Having a pocket full of dog treats can help with your dog training. When your dog has done what you commanded particularly well give him a dog treat as an extra bonus for doing so well. He will remember and learn that by trying really hard to do as required he might earn an extra treat.
There is no reason to hit a dog when you are training him. Shouting and being aggresive towards him will just confuse him and you will end up with a scared and unhappy dog. Praise him but always be in control by being firm and clear with your commands. He will obey because he wants to please you and make you happy.
Try to develop a regular routine for your dog training. A short contructive period every day is far better than a long session once a week which may leave your dog tired and confused. Keep the training to short periods and just practice one thing at a time.
