Start training your new puppy or dog right from the time it comes
home. Puppies learn really quickly and new adult dogs will too – that is
if you set the ground rules right from the start when you train your
dog.
Are you enough of a pack leader for your dog? It is really important for your dog to know where it fits in to your family. And you, as the pack leader, are responsible for you dog’s wellbeing and for teaching it your rules.
A well-balanced dog is one that understands your rules as all they want is to keep you happy.
Discipline, exercise and love are the three most important things – in that order, your dog needs from you to keep it from displaying destructive and frustrating behavior.
Do you and you dog a favor; go to dog obedience classes right from the start as it will increase the bond between the two of you.
What Method to use when teaching Basic Obedience
The method I recommend in all dog training techniques is positive reinforcement and I tend to ignore poor behavior unless it is dangerous. This way my dogs understand that when they behave well they get the attention they want and behaving badly gets them nothing. Yelling and screaming at your dog just makes the situation worse. If you feel frustrated – just say nothing, walk away, and come back again later and try again.
