Dog Training Basics
- Start a Dog Obedience Program: Learn how to set a basic foundation before you begin to train your dog. This will help establish consistent protocols you and your dog will follow, making it easier for everyone.
- Use Positive Reinforcement: Using positive reinforcement to train your dog means you reward the behaviors you like and ignore the behaviors you do not like. Rewards can be treats, playing with a toy, pets, or anything the dog responds to. These "rewarding" techniques can even be used to train fully potty trained dogs to ring these clever doggy doorbells to let you know when they need to go relieve themselves.
- Make Training Fun: Why would you or your dog want to learn if neither one of you is enjoying the process? Keep training sessions short to prevent frustration, keep your tone light, and be fair to your dog. If you're both enjoying yourselves, your training sessions will be much more effective.
