Establish a Routine
Patience, consistency and timing are so important with any training method. If possible, you need to set aside 20 minutes every day to train them, and you also need to praise them when appropriate. When it comes to training, your dog needs to be consistent all the time. It’s important to be consistent with their exercise times, their playtimes, and their bathroom breaks. You also need to be consistent with their feeding times, their playtimes, and toilet breaks. Dogs will be more relaxed if they are able to understand their daily routine. Having a hard time with all of the above? Unable to solve all the problems you are having? A professional dog walker can help you by giving you the type of individualized attention you need to figure out what’s wrong.
Training is Supposed to be Fun
If you want your dog to be able to understand what you are teaching him, then he should be able to have fun while you train him. That being said, if your dog is not enjoying their training sessions then they won’t be as committed, and neither will you. If your dog takes a little extra effort to behave as you expect, reward them very generously.
Stay Calm
Your pooch will want to go with you on all your adventures. They will also need you to praise them and give them lots of affection. Some dogs have such good instincts that they think training is like playing with their toys. OK, that is all right, but pay attention to what you say when you talk to them. This will help them to learn that you are speaking a very authoritative tone of voice. If as a dog owner you are not getting angry and are trying to act calmly, asserting yourself as the boss, while not becoming too annoyed, it will help them to better process what you are trying to tell them.
Structured Walks
Your dog needs to be walked on a leash and go to their regularly scheduled walks. If your dog never gets a chance to walk on a leash, it is very important that they learn to behave. Dogs need to run around and have fun, but they also need to learn to walk on a loose leash and behave when they go outside Letting your dog off leash with no recall, and letting them run over to every dog that they see will not help your dog learn limitations or self-control. Letting your dog off the lead is a good thing to do, and it is essential to have a long line when training recall. However, regular decompression walks are still very helpful for your dog.
