Reviews On Dog Training Books

When you see a badly behaved dog in the street we are embarassed for the owner and upset if the dog is a nuisance to us. Nobody likes a badly behaved dog.

You can do your own dog training or you can employ someone else to train your dog for you but it is far more rewarding and certainly a lot cheaper to train your dog yourself. This will also help create a bond between you and your dog that will never leave either one of you.

You can also join local dog training classes and some people find this is the best route for them but classes tie you down to a certain time each week and they may not easily fit in with your busy lifestyle.

The first rule of dog training is that you should always praise your dog when he does well. If he has responded well to your instructions then you should congratulate him and tell him what a good boy he has been.

Dogs want to be loved so the more you show how much you love your dog the more he will want to make you happy. When he is doing well and you give him lots of encouraging praise he will remember that by doing things properly he got a lot of love and attention and next time will try extra hard.

You might like to keep a few little treats in your pocket to give to your dog as an extra reward if he does really well. Only give the treats when the task has been performed reasonably well. You should avoid ever rewarding failure. He needs to learn that he gets goodies when he is good.

Avoid hitting or yelling at your dog as this is counter productive because all it does is confuse and upset him. Praise when he does well and just remain calm and quiet when things don't go so well. Be gentle yet firm. Speak gently when you issue a command but do it in firm way. You must show him you are the boss but always show him your affection.

Develop a regular routine for the training but always avoid overworking your dog. If things are not going well stop the training for that day. You want the training to be productive and a positive experience for your dog.
