Spot LOVES to bark. He barks at EVERYONE. He never shuts his trap. He jumps all over me and my guests, continually. I now own a shredded sweater, and he just peed on the new 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.
One person should commit to being responsible for Rovers lessons. This will make it smoother for you and your canine friend, since the lessons will be able to be more consistently given by one person. The dog will also become more familiar with one coach, compared to having two or three coaches. The methods of the coach must be followed by everyone who lives with your dog, and children need to be supervised by the primary coach while coaching Rover.
Sessions should be less than 15 minutes long, because of a dogs shorter attention span. Sessions can be 10-15 minutes long every day, or every other day. If you’ve had a bad day or don’t feel very patient, it’s probably best to skip a session, since you won’t be at your best.
It’s very good to use the learned commands during daily life. This will help her to remember the commands. For instance, give your dog the Sit command throughout the day.
When using food rewards, make sure that training stints are before mealtimes (the dogs) so that he’s hungry and inspired to act.
Begin training in a quiet environment with few distractions, making it easier for her to focus on learning the new command. If you remove distractions, you will be the most interesting item in the room to your dog. Try to choose a quiet room, where you and your dog are alone. After she has learned the command, start adding distractions, such as having other people in the room.
After these successes, reinforce the new orders using different body positions (on his left, right, with you sitting or standing, etc.), in other rooms of the house, and finally, outdoors on a lead. After a number of lessons, he’ll begin to understand that a command means that he should do the same thing each time, no matter where you are, or what your body language is.
You might be teaching a previously trained dog. That’s OK. Grown dogs will usually have longer attention spans than pups, allowing for faster learning. This helps to compensate for some incorrect training that might 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.
When you start using the command in a new situation, your pet may act a bit confused. Be relaxed, and allow yourself to back up the training a step or two, or give extra reinforcement in the new situation. It’s the way your dog learns to focus on your command, in spite of distractions that occur.
8 Essential Dog Training Tips:
* One person is the chief trainer
* 15 minutes every other day, or every day
* Peaceful environment before mastery. Use a quiet indoor room
* Use food reward, but train before mealtimes (the dogs, not yours!)
* After mastering the command, change body language, change location, utilize distractions
* Use learned commands during daily life for reinforcement
* Reinforce commands by using during daily life (that’s the funnest part!)
* Back up as needed when training
