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!
Having a new dog can be a very challenging time when you're faced with behavior problems. However, excellent improvement will happen when you use a powerful system to teach your dog every day. With the right information and system, she CAN make HUGE strides in 7 just days.
Training your dog can be a lot of fun for both of you, as long as you have good information and some patience. With the right info, you'll quickly see that your dog can learn new commands quite fast, and you'll begin to enjoy the lessons.It's important for Rover to know basic commands such as Come, Sit, Stay, and Heel. This will help keep him out of harms way around cars, and in public parks.
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.
Because dogs have limited attention spans, lessons should be 15 minutes long, or a little less. Lessons can be every day, or every second day. Feel free to skip a session occasionally if you don't feel up to it. It's important for it to be fun, and to be able to feel patient.
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.
With this success achieved, you can begin to reinforce these new commands using different body language, in other areas of the house, and then outdoors with a leash. For example, you can voice the new command when you are standing, sitting, and while the dog is on your left or right. Your dog will begin to understand that the command means that he must do the same thing each time he hears it, regardless of where you are, or your body position.
Perhaps the canine that you will be instructing is no longer a puppy. This is not necessarily a disadvantage. Grown dogs generally have better attention spans, which allows her to learn faster. This can compensate for previous instruction that may need to be unlearned.
Previous training could cause her to link a certain behaviour with the command word that you're using. Maybe your dog is having trouble grasping what response you want for the word Come, use the same training sequence using Here, instead.
Every time that you move to a new location or situation using a newish command, you might need to back up a step in your training. This is very normal, and not a cause for alarm. It's part of your dog learning to focus on your command, despite many possible distractions.
8 Dynamite Dog Training Tips:
* Make one person the primary trainer
* 15 minutes daily, or every other day
* Quiet area with few distractions to start teaching each new command, indoors is best
* Use food reward, but train before mealtimes (the dogs, not yours!)
* After success, alter your body language, change location, and use distractions
* Use learned commands during daily life for reinforcement
* Reinforce commands by using during daily life (that's the funnest part!)
* Substitute command words for adult or previously trained dogs
