Dog Training Tips

Hello Everyone i was OFF for a LONG WHILE.. But now i am back with these exciting TIPS for You ALL DOG OWNERS..




Dog Training Tips:

Make Sure…
-While training your dog, there should not be any distractions.
-Treat your dog as soon as he obeys your command with something, which is not part of his regular diet.
- But don’t overdo the treats, as it will only make him feel full and lazier.
-Your training sessions should not be more than 20 minutes and should end optimistically.

Basic obedience Training…

These are some of the basic things that you can train your dog in.

Sit/Stay: For training your dog to sit / stay, hold out a special treat in front of your dog. Once he takes in the smell and the taste, give the command to sit/stay. Seeing your hand movements the dog will sit on its own. Continue doing this over and over again making sure to reward him with a special treat every time he obeys the command.

Down/Down Stay: When your dog is sitting, hold a special treat in front of your dog. With your hands motion him to come forward and go down at a 45 degrees angle. This might take more time and when your dog comes to a half down position you can reward him encouraging him to go down completely.

Come: This is relatively easy once your dog has been successfully trained in sitting/ staying. You need to be at a distance from your dog and with an enthusiastic gesture with your hands wave out for the dog to come towards you. Once he starts coming towards you as always reward him. This will tell him what you mean by ‘come’.

Heel: This means to walk. For this also you need to make sure what you trying to tell him. Once he obeys your command, reward him.

Toilet Training: This should start right from the beginning because it requires a lot of time for your dog to get used to it. You should make sure that they have their individual space and like all of us even they need a little bit of privacy to do their work. After their work is over make sure to reward them so that they know this is what is expected of them.

You must have noticed that every time your dog obeys you, you need to reward him. This not only encourages your dog but also motivates him to do his best all the time.
