My dog ADORES barking, and barks at EVERYONE. He just finished shredding the furniture legs. In his spare time, he enjoys leaping up on my guests, and urinating in the potted plant and elsewhere. Yuk, and double Yuk!!
It's maddening to try to deal with a dogs behavior headaches by yourself. In spite of this madness, fast advances DO happen when using a powerful system to train your dog daily. GIANT improvements can be made in only 7 days.
With the right information and a patient attitude, training your dog can be enjoyable for both of you. When you see how well your dog is learning the new commands, it will become fun, and you will both look forward to lessons. Also, knowing the basic commands like Come, Sit, Stay, and Heel will help keep your dog safe in dangerous situations, such as around traffic or strangers.
One person should commit to being responsible for Rovers lessons. This will make it smoother for you and your canine friend, since the lessons will be able to be more consistently given by one person. The dog will also become more familiar with one coach, compared to having two or three coaches. The methods of the coach must be followed by everyone who lives with your dog, and children need to be supervised by the primary coach while coaching Rover.
Because dogs have limited attention spans, lessons should be 15 minutes long, or a little less. Lessons can be every day, or every second day. Feel free to skip a session occasionally if you don't feel up to it. It's important for it to be fun, and to be able to feel patient.
It's very good to use the learned commands during daily life. This will help her to remember the commands. For instance, give your dog the Sit command throughout the day.
If you use food rewards, have your training sessions before your dogs mealtimes to make sure that he is hungry and motivated.
To help your dog focus on learning the new command, start the training with little to distract him. Make yourself the most interesting thing in the room by getting rid of potential interruptions. Be alone with your dog, in a quiet room. Add some distractions after she masters the command, such as having other people in the room.
After these successes, reinforce the new orders using different body positions (on his left, right, with you sitting or standing, etc.), in other rooms of the house, and finally, outdoors on a lead. After a number of lessons, he'll begin to understand that a command means that he should do the same thing each time, no matter where you are, or what your body language is.
If your dog isn't a puppy, don't despair. Older dogs frequently have longer attention spans than puppies, letting him learn faster and easier. This will balance out the fact that he may have had previous training that was less than ideal, that will need to be unlearned.
The dogs previous training may cause her to associate a certain behaviour for a certain word. For example, if your dog seems to be having a problem learning the correct behaviour for the word Come, try using the same training sequence for the word Here, instead.
It's normal to need to regress a step or two in the training regimen, when moving to a new location, being in a new situation, or using different body language. Your dog has many ways to be distracted, and he is learning to focus on your command, and remember what it means, and then perform it.
8 Essential Dog Training Tips:
* Make one person the primary trainer
* 15 minutes every other day, or every day
* Quiet area with few distractions to start teaching each new command, indoors is best
* Use quiet environment to start each new command, indoors is good
* After mastering the command, change body language, change location, utilize distractions
* Regress a step or two in the training regimen if she seems to have forgotten the command
* Be willing to substitute command words when teaching an older or previously trained dog
* Be ready to back up a step or two in the training sequence when needed
Who's a good dog?
