The training of dog begins during the period in its life when its socialization skills are being developed. If you train a dog too early, it will not learn anything because it hasn’t developed to the extent that it can learn. Training your dog when it has already developed its own undesirable characteristics may prove to be an extremely difficult task.
Don’t make the mistake of buying plush toys for your dog to chew on because it won’t be able to tell the difference between a plush toy and a plush pillow. In selecting chew toys for your dog, buy a few that are the same in size and color in other to help your dog keep track of them. Buying your dog a myriad of chew toys can confuse it and defeat the aim of distracting it from chewing your valuables.
If your puppy is acting in a way that you don’t like, change your own behavior first. Usually, an irascible dog acts that way because of the way that you treat it. If you want the best of your dog to show, treat it with firmness and gentleness at the same time.
The choke collar is a training tool for dogs that is usually applied to communicate your displeasure to your dog when it exhibits undesirable behavior. The choke collar is the length of a chain with a large circular ring on the other end and is a good dog training tool. The choke collar tightens on your dog’s neck when you give it a tug thereby letting your dog know that what it is doing is not acceptable.
Don’t expect your dog to immediately jump to obey your every command especially if they are new to them. You should realize that your dog needs adequate time to get used to the commands you are teaching it. Getting impatient with your dog each time you fail to get it to respond will only make it tensed up during training.
Ensure that any dog toy that you buy for your dog is durable and can therefore withstand chewing and chomping. A good dog toy is one that also taste nice enough to distract it. Basically, dog toys are part of a dog’s training.
Dogs need to be potty trained. Potty training a dog is part of its training program. A dog that leaves its excreta all over your house can hardly be viewed as ‘cute’. You need to teach your dog so that it lets you know when it wants to relieve itself.
Praise is to dogs what love is to humans. Don’t forget to praise your dog when it gets a command right. A reward system encourages your dog to learn eagerly.
