Dogs are considered to be man's best friend and having a dog as a pet is proven to help owners be happy and live longer. In addition to companionship, dogs can prove helpful, but only if they are trained appropriately. Whether you want to train a dog simply for obedience or for a specific function, read on for some tips.
When housebreaking a dog it is quite important for him to know that when he went potty outside that you are proud of him. Give him a treat and some attention as soon as he has done his business. Do not just let him go about his business while you go about yours.
Encourage your dog's cooperation in training by rewarding good behavior. Dogs respond to a calm, confident leader who earns respect. When your dog responds to commands make sure you reward him with play or food, and make sure you reward easy commands as well as harder ones to build his confidence.
Chewing is one of the most destructive and distressing dog behaviors. Training your dog to not chew on inappropriate items will save your property, and might save your pet's life. Try to keep tempting items out of your dog's reach, preventing the problem before it begins. You might also try spraying "bitter" pet deterrent sprays on valuables that can't be moved.
If you are going to deem it perfectly acceptable for your pet to use the bathroom indoors make a designated area for them for elimination. Place potty pads there and or around there, and slowly migrate them such that there is only one pad in the spot you want them to eliminate.
Just as reinforcement of good behavior when training a dog should be immediate, so too should punishment for bad behavior be immediate. Saying "no" in a harsh voice tells the dog he has acted inappropriately but he only connects the message with the targeted behavior if that message is delivered immediately after that act.
When potty training a puppy, give him a reward every time he eliminates appropriately. The reward can be a treat, or a simple "good boy". Your dog will learn to associate eliminating in an appropriate place with behavior that you want him to display. He wants to please you and so, will continue to display this behavior.
To keep your dog from biting at furniture or people, or scratching at doors, spray him or her with a bottle of water. This will teach your dog that there are certain behaviors that are unacceptable. Soon your dog will stop these behaviors and you'll have a playful yet obedient dog.
As was alluded to earlier, dogs are great companions, either as simple pets or for specific uses. Now that you have read this article, you know a few things about training your dog to do the things you want but not other things you don't. Keep these tips in mind and make your pet relationship a happy one.
