Contrary to popular opinion, anyone can train their dogs. Whoever told you it can't be done have used incorrect methods or have failed because they gave up too soon. Nothing tests your patience like dog training; but staying on course until you see the fruits of your labor is incredibly rewarding. Not only will your home be clean and shiny, you will have a better social life and a happier relationship with your pet.

To understand more the groundwork of basic dog training tips, let us see the world through the eyes of our pet. Humans are sensible and cognitive beings equipped to correctly assess situations through logic, assumptions and basic reasoning. Our dogs are not as fortunate. They are lovely pets yes, but their comprehension is only derived from simple reactions and a consistent pattern of training they get from us. 'Come!' is completely different from 'Let's go!' and 'Come here!' from a dog's perspective. He might go to you after several tries but it's probably just luck and not real understanding you can work on.

Thus, you will have to be consistent in the exact words and phrases you use in training your dogs the basic commands. This will apply to everything relating to him.

It is foundational and of utmost importance that your dog acknowledges you as the immovable head of the pack. It does not imply that you need to be excessively mean and harsh to the dog to affirm your authority; you need only to be firm and strong. Once he recognizes you as the leader, the dog will seek to obey and follow you as a good subordinate does.

Rubbing your dog's belly is a simple tactic you can employ to enforce your leadership. This teaches him to submit to you and by licking your hand he acknowledges you as his superior. Never yield to your pet's crying or growling just to keep them quiet. You need to set good habits and see to it this is followed at all times.

Another trick experts use in training animals is to let the dog teach himself. For example, your dog is gnawing on things not meant for dog's teeth. Pet owners will reprimand the dog right away and take the thing away. This isn't wrong but a better method is to replace incorrect behavior with the right one by planting unpleasant sensations and memories from the wrong behavior.

When he starts chewing your shoe, give him a sharp blast of cold water from your squirt gun. If he resumes his shoe chewing, squirt him again. Place a favorite toy in front of him and encourage him to pick it up. When he does, shower him with praise. He will associate unpleasant feelings with the wrong behavior and good ones with the right behavior.

Dog socialization in an important but often overlooked area of dog training. Developing social skills should start within three months of the puppy's life. However, it would be good to have even older dogs socialize with people and other dogs regularly. Put socialization high up in the training priority list by introducing him to different kinds of people and animals (make sure they're healthy) throughout his life.

To bring someone or something up in discipline and tender care is a sign of love and maturity. These dog training tips will help your dogs be happy and confident in their life. Sure it has its challenges; but the end result is always worth it. - 20511
