Congratulations on being a new dog owner. Training should begin immediately after you have gotten home with your new pet. Both you and your best friend will be very be happy together if he is properly trained. The suggestions here should be all you need to properly train your pet.

If you have a puppy that likes to chew on everything when you are away from home, the easiest solution is to consider an indoor or outdoor kennel to use in your absence. If you cannot put your dog outside make sure you do not leave anything out that your dog can ruin.

A dog who has access to enough food and toys for entertainment is much less likely to dig through your trashcans. You can also curb such behavior by emptying the trash often and putting savory leftovers in a separate, sealed bag. If you go out, empty the trash or crate your dog.

If you are going to be training a pet, you should think about a word or noise that will tell your pet they did a good thing. One good word can act as an appreciated segue from the good behavior to the ultimate reward.

Repetition is the key to success when teaching a dog a new command. It is not uncommon for it to take between 25 to 50 repetitions of the same command for your dog to learn it. Using the exact same command and remain patient with them so that they can get it.

Make sure you’re as patient as possible when training your dog. Train them gradually so they do not feel rushed into anything. Some dogs pick up new things quickly, while others aren’t quite so sharp. Patience is the most crucial virtue you could have when trying to train your dog.

To teach your pooch the “sit” command, approach him with a treat while he is standing. Next, move the treat a bit behind his head. Your dog will look up as your hand passes behind his head. When a dog does this, it is natural for them to sit.

Keep your dog active. Almost all dogs have short attention spans. Dogs with no enthusiasm will be harder to train than active dogs. Your dog is going to be a lot more attentive when it has received enough exercise. Get out for some long walks and runs with your dog.

Don’t be angry with your dog for poor responses during training. You’re their teacher, and you must act in an appropriate manner.

Dogs that are well trained are normally happy. With the tips in this article, you now have the information you need to get started with puppy training.
