you ever wanted a dog but just didn’t get one because of the tough
time to train it? When you get a dog training it becomes part
of your life with it. Training a dog is important so that your
dog does not end up acting like a wild dog. Training is not that
hard when done properly. Here are some ways to make training your
dog fun and easier. Be
the Alpha Male:
Dogs had a natural
instinct to follow the Alpha male. This is because in the wild
were they lived in packs there was always the alpha male. That
alpha male maintained the order and discipline in their packs.
When bringing them home you would need to be the Alpha male
or female.
When you act that
way towards your dog, the dog will know that there is someone
to follow. When that happens, the dog will gain a sense of security
and confidence because there is someone to follow. Most dogs
even become happy submitting to leader.
Doesn’t mean you
have to be the boss means you treat your dogs in a harsh way
when training them. It should be just enough that you should
establish hat you are the one to be followed.
You can do these
by projecting strength through your steady and deep voice and
being able to also react calmly when the dog is in a stressful
situation also helps. Do remember to give the dog rewards when
something good has been done.
Socializing:
The puppy you have
should learn how to socialize with other humans and dogs after
all the vaccinations. This will help the puppy get to know more
about his natural surroundings and all the other people he or
she will encounter. This will help a lot because puppies are
like sponges that can absorb everything they can see or learn.
The best place to
go to are parks, or a friends place. When going to the vet also
make the dog know that it’s frightening by petting it. When
exposing the dog to kids, also do so calmly to prevent the dog
from getting scared from raucous kids.
If your dog gets
scared at a new place or another dog, the best way to calm it
down is by distracting it. Make the dog think of another thing
by playing with it and afterwards give it some rewards.
Be positive:
Instead of being
negative when a dog does something bad, try to approach things
in a positive way. Being negative can only confuse a dog. When
you keep saying “no”, the dog will not understand what the wrong
thing it is doing is. Do you think a dog understands “No biting
of the electromagnetic remote control”. It’s tough to understand
complex things in a different language.
Instead train her
by being positive. Show her the things that are all right. Show
her that it is all right to answer the call of nature outside
by bringing her out and giving rewards afterwards. Show her
that it is all right to only chew their chew toys.
Following these three
things can help make your life easier training the dog. In the
future, it will be both of you having fun.
