Fundamental Dog Training That Will Have You Looking Like A Professional
How does your pet sit when you command him to and mine doesn’t? How can your pet heel to you like that? Wow! He comes when you command him to – Sounds memorable? If it does, you need to invest some time into a little bit of basic dog training. Starting to teach your dog from a early age is crucial as the first few months of his being is when you will have the greatest influence on him; this is where he is shaped into the dog he is going to be when he is all grown up.
The most basic of puppy training is to get your puppy to sit and come. Teaching him those instructions are necessary for him to learn. These commands are used for an assortment of different reasons, if you are in competition, if your dog jumps making him sit will instantly get him off and “come” is the all important one. If you take your dog for a stroll, you let him of the leash and you expect him to come back to you, not run around the playing field with you chasing after him screaming at him to “get here right this moment”. That would be just down right upsetting!
To teach your dog how to come requires only the most basic of methods but a lot of reverberation. The easiest way to get him to come is have a toy in one hand and a indulgence in the other, when you are in the building simply walk away from him, hold out the toy and colorfully invite him to you, when he comes over furnish him a treat, each time use the command for come that you are going to use in the future. Doing this several times a day is a good way to coach him, but keep in mind to have lots of long breaks so he doesn’t get bored to tears and stop enjoying it, and don’t forget the goodies!
Getting him to sit down could be a slight bit tougher but again only requires key dog training. When you have mastered the come command call him to you, put your hand on the end of his back and say “sit” while lightly pushing downward on his backside, when he sits his bottom down give him a treat and a lot of adoration. If you want him to sit longer just delay giving him the treat and the praise, get him to sit but take your time bending down to him and giving him his treat.
Basic dog training is easy and very helpful. It should also be fun for you and your dog, it doesn’t have to be hours and hours each day just may be 5 minutes or so. Don’t forget to compensate your pet and yourself for all the “solid” work though!
