Dog Training Tips

A well-trained dog is more lovable and more pleasant to be with. Owners must teach their dogs to heed basic commands and make them behave properly. Dog training is also a good way to bond with your dog and only requires simple persistence and ample time to be successful. We have put together a list of some of useful and reliable dog training tips to serve as your guide.

Here are some quick dog training tips to help get you started.

  • Firm and Friendly

    • When you give commands such as "come" during dog training, it is better to use a happy and friendly voice. While on the other hand, you'll want a lower firmer voice for sit, down, and stay commands.

  • Praise & Reward

    • Always praise your dog or offer him treats when he learned new commands

    after a long day of dog training.

  • Be Patient

    • Patience is the key when you are training with your dog. Focus on a single command a session and end it on a positive note. Dog's are incredibly smart and will pick up all your commands. After each session, spend some time playing. He will associate the time with you as positive and anticipate his training again.

  • Use the correct e-collar.

    • If you have a well-behaved dog, a lead and a buckle will do on your obedience training. However, if your dog is uncontrollable with undesirable and distracting behaviors, you should use an e-collar. You don't have to worry about the size as most e collar training systems now clearly indicate what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

  • No Distractions

    • Try to pick a quiet area to effectively teach your dog to do tricks or commands during e collar training. A secluded back yard works best if you want to train your dog for basic obedience commands only.

  • Reprimand

    • Do not hit your dog! Any time your dog has undesirable behavior, be firm and friendly. You can still show that you are the master and in control without having to be violent.

  • Be Positive

    • It is necessary to use positive reinforcement when training your dog by offering some dog treats and a lot of praise if he performs correctly and learn new commands.

  • Play with your dog

    • Dogs which are trained are a pleasure to take for a walk and a pleasure to own

    Training Various Dog Breeds

    Each dog breed requires a different approach in training. The method to be used in training a dog is based on his breed and his purpose. Here are some information on the most common breeds and what they are trained for.

  • Small Dog Training

They are usually small dogs which are known for being sociable and are commonly dressed up in pint size outfits in fancy colors with fun styles and designs. These dogs are well suited for common pet tricks such as sitting up or being trained to “speak” (bark on command) as well as fetching small objects. These group is easier to train for they are more quite tolerant of the behavior. This group includes Toy Poodles, Chihuahuas, Pekingese, and Pomeranians, along with similar breeds.

They can be often seen on police and military forces around the world, and are well-trained tpo provide personal security and protection. These are the dogs who are trained for drug and explosive detection and also leading the visually impaired. Breeds listed in this category would include German Shepherds, Malamutes, Australian Cattle Dogs and various other breeds of similar size and nature.

  • Hunting Dog Training

     

    Hunting dogs have been bred for a purpose and it has remained relatively the same throughout history. Their main function is to flush game from its hiding places and then to retrieve the game after we have dispatched it. However, there are different skill sets even amongst the hunting breeds and whilst some interchangeability is possible, it is not always in the best interest of the dog. Hunting dogs fall mainly in the categories of water dogs, bird dogs and tracking dogs. Water dogs include such breed as the Labrador Retriever and are bred primarily for the purpose of waterfowl hunting and retrieval in wet land environments.
