You might become frustrated when trying to train your dog, even more so if you just got your him. This article will provide you with some valuable advice to make training your dog a little easier.
You can use a few tricks when crate training your dog or puppy. If your puppy doesn’t like being in his crate, put a dog treat or chew bone in it and close the door to keep him out. They will see and smell the bone and will want you to let them in there to get it. Upon entering the crate, praise your puppy to make sure it knows it did a good job.
It is dangerous to put more than one dog together in a close space. The restraints for each dog can become tangled and in an effort to free themselves, they can be injured. If a large dog becomes tangled with a smaller one they could wrap up to the point the airway of the latter is closed off and the dog would die.
Keep your voice firm and level when delivering commands to your dog. Your tone conveys seriousness to the dog and the fact that they must obey you. Doing this also ensures that your dog will know the difference between your “you’re in trouble” voice and your “do as I say” voice.
You must stay consistent while you are crate training young puppies. When you allow the puppy to come out of the crate, you have to immediately and without fail give him the chance to relieve his bladder. Doing so helps him learn when it is okay to go to the bathroom.
When house training your dog, be sure your dog has a predictable feeding and elimination routine. By establishing a regular potty-time every day, you will get your dog in the habit of doing his business at the same time daily. Sticking to a schedule will teach your dog how to control himself until his next scheduled potty break.
Regardless of your dog’s age, or his previous behavior problems, the advice above really can help. Be patient when applying this useful advice. Your dog and you will both be happier.
