Some people give their dogs away because of their bad behavior, but in most cases this can be avoided. Properly trained dogs are healthy and happy members of a family. Making your dog this way doesn't have to be hard, if you invest the time to do it with some simple steps.
Spoken directions should be made using a simple, concise and forceful tone. There's no point in ranting at your dog. Just say no and direct them on what it is you desire for them to do. When speaking to your dog, use a voice that commands respect.
Be sure to keep your dog active and engaged a great deal of the time. Dogs are easily bored. Dogs that lose interest are hard to train. If you have a happy, exercised dog, they will listen better. A long walk or a brisk run are great ways to get rid of some of your dog's excess energy.
Make sure your teething puppy has a bunch of chew toys readily available to him, and keep other things he likes to chew on away from him. Replace the tasty item you do not want chewed with a designated chew toy. If your puppy is in a lot of pain due to teething, a frozen wet washcloth is ideal for him to chew on.
The rule of thumb with puppies and house training is to remember: what is eaten will pass. Feed your puppy three times regularly each day. You will know when it is time for your the dog to use the bathroom, reducing accidents.
Be consistent with your canine training to make sure your animal stays obedient to the rules it has been learning. Pet owners often believe that once their dog completes a training program, the process is over. But dogs can become complacent just like their human counterparts. It is important that the training your dog receives is reinforced regularly.
With patience and a handful of tasty treats, you can easily teach your pet to roll over. Firstly, have the dog lie down. Then hold the treat at the side of the dog's head and move it around it's face to the other side. This will cause your dog to use their nose to follow the treat. As a result, your dog will roll over. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. Never become frustrated if it does not happen right away. Once he does learn how, he will be a celebrity among other dogs.
In conclusion, it's not impossible to have a well-behaved dog. You need to show him love, cater to his needs and train him properly. Follow the steps listed above and your dog will become, and remain, an important part of your family.
