Dog Training - Techniques To Stick To

By Lee Dobbins

When you first get a dog in your life, we admit that it is irresistible to sit there and play with him or her all day. When he or she jumps up on your bed, you do not want to push them to the side. You figure one night is fine. Well, once you do it, the dog is going to expect it each and every night. If you do not plan on letting the dog sleep on your bed, then don't let them do it, not even once. You should also know that we have dealt with many dogs in the past.

Have all of our dogs been trained? Of course they have. In fact, my pit bull seems to be the smartest out of them all as he really does take to his commands.

When you first bring your pet home, you need to start training him or her to wear a collar.

However, you need to allow the pup to get used to that thing around his neck first. When he or she has gotten used to the collar, you need to introduce the leash to them. Do not put it around their neck, let them sniff it and know that it is okay.

At first, they will wonder about that foreign object on their neck, but in due time, they will get used to it. You should also introduce the leash to them and let them get used to it before you put it on them.

As you are training your dog, no matter what you do, you need to have confidence in your pet. It goes without saying that if you have confidence in your dog, he or she is going to have confidence in you at the same time. As you are training the dog, you will be building up a loving relationship. Remember, do not shout at your pet.
