Fluff LOVES to bark. She barks at EVERYONE. I now own a pair of shredded shoes, (tasty leather) and she just did her business on the latest National Geographic!
It's a struggle to have a new dog when you're faced with behavior issues. Despite this, fast corrections can be made when you use a powerful system to train your dog daily. HUGE improvements can be made in only 7 days.
Using good info and a tolerant attitude, tutoring your pooch can be lots of fun for both of you. Not to mention the benefits of you having a well behaved dog, AND your dog will love you even more than before. You'll see how fast your dog is learning the new commands, which will make the lessons become fun, and something that you both are keen to take part in. Also, it's important to keep your dog out of harms way in dicey situations, such as around traffic, and strangers, by knowing a few basic commands, such as Come, Sit, Stay, and Heel.
Make one person responsible for training your pet. This is important because the dog will find it easiest to become familiar with one person and their training methods because of the consistency of the training method. All the people that share a dwelling with the animal need to know that they must follow the training formula of the head trainer. When kids assist, they'll need to be supervised, hopefully by the chief trainer.
Your training appointments need to be less than 15 minutes, because of the dogs limited attention span. Appointments can be about 15 minutes long, every second day, or even every day. If you don't feel your best, feel free to skip an appointment every now and then.
For fastest results, blend the commands you've been working on into the dogs daily life. For example, if you've covered the Sit command, try using that throughout the day. Remember to reward your pooch every time he displays the correct behaviour.
Since using food rewards offer a powerful incentive to your dog, it's good to use them. However, it's important to schedule the lessons for before mealtimes to make sure that he's hungry, and keen to earn the reward.
Start the instruction in a quiet area, by yourself. Try to make yourself the most interesting thing in the room, by minimizing distractions. This will make it easier for her to focus on learning the new command. Once she has mastered the command, add distractions. These could include having other people present, or conducting the lesson in a different 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.
For example, your dogs earlier training might have caused her to associate a particular word for a particular behaviour. Maybe your dog is having difficulty grasping the right behaviour for the word Come. You could try using the word Here, instead. Be sure to use the identical training procedure.
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 Dynamite Dog Training Tips:
* Only one person as the main teacher
* 15 minutes daily, or every other day
* Peaceful environment before mastery. Use a quiet indoor room
* If you're using food rewards (recommended), do the lesson before the dogs mealtime
* Mastery of command? Alter body language, use distractions, change environment
* Regress a step or two in the training regimen if she seems to have forgotten the command
* Previously trained dog? Be prepared to substitute command words
* Substitute command words for adult or previously trained dogs
