Dog Obedience
Training your own dog is a very rewarding experience for both the dog and owner. Start with these 3 simple dog obedience training tips and you should start to see great results from your efforts!
1. Patience- always be patient with your dog in your training sessions. Remember you are working with a dog and it may take some time for him to understand the commands you are teaching. If you repeat what ever the training is enough times, your dog will start to learn pretty quickly. The more you work with your dog and his obedience training, the quicker he will pick up on what you are teaching.
2. Always reinforce your training with positive praise. Never scold your dog or strike your dog during a training session. This will make your dog relate a negative experience to his training and could slow down or halt all your obedience training efforts. Positive praise for what your dog does right is always better that negative reactions for what your dog does wrong. Remember, your dog looks up to you, so don't look down on him.
3. When you are teaching your dog obedience training, keep each training session short and to the point. A long session will only result in your dog losing focus or getting confused as to what you are teaching. Only train one aspect of obedience at a time for example "stay" or "down". Give your dog time to master one command before starting to teach another.
Keep these 3 obedience training tips in mind when you are training your dog. Most dogs are very intelligent animals and will enjoy the training. You see, they don't know they are being trained, to them it's like they are just interacting with their owner. Keep each session fun and enjoy this time with your dog. Afterwards maybe throw the frizbee or go to a dog park or just for a walk.
