So to save yourself hours of doggy induce drama as well as keeping your pup happy as well dog training is essential. Combining the knowledge of the experts with the right attitude will help you turn your tailed tear away into a model doggy citizen. The following four tips have been tried and tested by the professionals.
Who Is The Boss?
In nature dogs are pack animals that follow the pack leader who makes all the decisions for the good of the pack. To stop confusion and back-biting within the pack there is only ever one pack leader at a time. What you need to make your dog realize that you are the alpha male. To help you live up to your new role as pack leader you should take your dog for regular walks when you get home from work and complete obedience courses with him. Controlling the amount of food and when your dog gets it is another way of asserting your pack leader status over your dog. Teaching your dog that you will only feed him twice a day will help to show him that you are the boss.
Don't Change
If your dog doesn't learn a command experts say that it isn't his fault, professionals agree that in most cases it's the owner that is at fault when a dog doesn't understand what you want him to do. Everything in the dog world is either black or white where humans see a whole swathe of grays. People know that "Come" and "C'mon" have become synonymous, dogs on the other hand don't know that they mean the same thing so saying "C'mon" in place of "Come" will only succeed in confusing the dog. To limit the confusion to a bare minimum it is vital that you use the same tone of voice and the same words when teaching your dog a new command.
Obedience Comes from Respect
To build a happy relationship with your dog you must share a feeling of mutual respect between the you. This can be attained easily, as your dog will respect your position of alpha male of the pack you must respect his needs. Respect is not something that you will find by intimidating your dog or cramming treats down it's throat. With proper praise and correction your dog will grow to respect you as an alpha male instead of fearing you as a bad owner or acting badly because you treat him too much, training your dog is about doing what is right and not what is easy.
Only When The Time Is Right
Time factors in to every part of your furry friends training schedule. Over the course of your dogs life he will have picked up habits that will make it harder for you to train him than when he is a puppy that hasn't had time to learn the habits. Mistakes tend to happen when you try and train your dog over a long and drawn out training session. To help keep you dog focused on the task at hand you it is recommended that you keep your trains sessions at around the 15 minute mark to increase that chance that your dog will stay focused. When you take on the role as pack leader timing is essential as well. In a natural dog pack the alpha male will eat first so mimicking this behavior in your own home be feeding your dog after you've finished eating is a great way of reminding him of who is the top dog.
