Sometimes it may feel as though you brought home Cujo instead of Lassie! You can tackle these behavior issues and train your dog to behave.
If you have to give your dog a verbal correction, be sure that they are sharp, to the point, and short. It's not good to rant about how bad your dog is. Simply say no and direct them to what you want them to do instead. Make sure your voice sounds firm and businesslike.
When house-breaking your puppy, choose a specific phrase to use when it's time to go outdoors. When you take your dog out, repeat this command. This will help him form an association between being taken outside and doing his business.
Be ready with a favorite treat when your dog successfully completes a command. You want them to know they did the right thing. This is the proper way to make sure the dog knows the difference between good behavior and bad.
If you encounter a dog with whom you are not acquainted, you should do so slowly and with the back of a hand outstretched. The dog will become familiar with your smell and recognize the scent in the future. Once a dog recognizes your particular scent, he will be unafraid and willing to obey.
For a dog to become house trained you should always have them on the same feeding schedule everyday, so their elimination time is always the same. This will give you the opportunity to understand when your dog needs to go to the bathroom. Using this schedule can teach your dog how to hold their piddle until the upcoming potty break.
You always want to make certain your dog has good leash manners. Not only is this safer for the dog and easier on your body, such a frequent activity mandates good self-control and reinforcement of the chain of command from training.
You need to be use rewards and positive reinforcers when you are training your pet. Use petting, positive words, and occasion treats to reward your dog whenever he does something good. Never shout towards your dog, nor ever hit or physically strike him. This is not a particularly effective form of training. If you want good results, you must be positive, consistent and firm as you train your dog.
