Dog Training Will Civilize Your Animal And Make Them Your Companion

Having a dog can enrich your life tremendously, but it can also come with its share of difficulty. Many owners simply do not know how to effectively handle canine behavioral problems, and can sometimes make the dog's behavior worse. If this is your situation, then relax - we're here to help!

A great dog training tip is to learn to read your dog's facial expressions. Dogs communicate a lot just through their facial expressions. For example, when a dog is scared or worried, their mouth may appear stiff and their ears will perk up. You can learn a lot about your dog just by watching their facial expressions.

One tip to keep in mind when training your dog, is to use its name properly. This is important because control over your pet is the number one priority in training and discipline. Say it's name often, but only for direct orders. Never call your dog to you if you plan on inflicting punishment on it.

As part of your dog training, it is important to reinforce positive behavior. In most cases, giving your dog a small treat every time they do the correct movement is the best reinforcement. Before you know it your dog will be reacting very quickly to your commands, even without the treat.

To train a dog how to act around people and guests in your home, it is crucial that the dog is socialized with other people. This contact with people, especially people who are new to your dog, will allow you to train the dog on how he should react. This is very useful to the training process.

An important rule of thumb in dog training is that people lead and dogs follow. Never let your dog lead you around while it is on its leash. Make short, sharp, well defined corrections with the dog's lead to bring it back to heel. Your dog must learn that you are the one directing things, not the other way around.

Your body language is an important tool that will help you as you begin training your dog. Even more than words, the way you act tells your dog a lot about what you want. Stop talking as much and start showing your animal what behaviors are important to you.

To prevent any mess in your house, you can install a doggy toilet. Once your dog knows that it has to go outside the house, use the same command you used to make it understand that outside is a good place to go in association with the doggy toilet.

Start training your dog early. Many people believe that very young puppies are too young to learn. The reality is that even puppies as young as six weeks old are able to begin the basics of training, and starting early ensures that your puppy will have a strong foundation for more advanced training later.

Every owner owes it to their dog to know the basics of dog training. And the good news is that, even if you know little about canine behavior, there are simple and very easy steps you can take to develop a more positive and healthy relationship with your dog.To Your Success
