Training your pet can be very frustrating, but there are many dog training tricks that you can use to make your work easier. These tricks include:
1) Make the training fun. This will help the pet learn faster. You can develop plays that you know are fun and you should incorporate whatever you want to teach the dog in these plays.
2) The training should also be fun for you. This will reduce your frustration and boredom.
3) You should only train the puppy for a few minutes each day. This way, the they will not get bored. A training session should be about 15 minutes long.
4) Food is also a great motivator for animals... You should use small one-bite treats whenever the dog does something right and you should praise it with a positive-sounding voice. You should know what your dog likes for this to be effective.
5) To teach your puppy common terms such as 'come' and 'sit', you can make use of one-bite treats. When the dog comes over or sits, give it the one-bite treats. You can practice this while you are doing other things such as watching TV.
6) Consistence is very important when training. If you change the training regimen, you will have to start from scratch.
7) One of the most important dog training tricks is that you should avoid getting frustrated or angry at the dog. The dog will sense this and it will be confused and scared.
8) You should understand your dog. Different dogs respond differently to different words and sounds and you should know what these are. You should note that different breeds have different capabilities when training the dog - learn what the capabilities, limitations, and special needs for your dog are.
9) Create a dog friendly environment. The dog will not respond well to training if it is scared of uncomfortable. A dog friendly environment also means limiting access to objects that the dog can chew such as shoes.
10) Get training early on how to train your puppy. There are many online and offline publications on how to train dogs. You should go for publications from renowned writers since some writer do not know more than you do. You can also get a dog training DVD.
11) Make sure you correct the bad behavior immediately after they have done something wrong such as 'going' in the house. If you do not catch the dog in the act, you should not punish it since it will not know why it is being punished.
12) Incorporate common commands such as 'sit' and 'come' in your daily routine. This way, your pet will get comfortable in performing them. An example of this is telling the dog to 'sit' everyday before you give it dinner or telling the dog to 'down stay' whenever you are answering the phone.
13) Finally, another of the important dog training tricks is that you should make sure the dog has mastered one command before moving to another lesson. You should never attempt to teach the dog more than one trick at a time as this will only cause confusion to the dog and frustration to you.
